Time to leave a comment on whatever subject
your Red & White Trojan heart desires!

Done with your taxes yet?

I always put them off until the VERY last minute, partly because I hate the gathering/organizing part of it,
and also(I tell myself) experts say your chances of being audited go down the later you file.
I've said at other sites, I normally get a refund, which means the normal 15 April deadline doesn't count, as I don't owe taxes. This year, because the 15th falls on a Saturday, the deadline is actually 17 April.
Whoopee!
Two more days to put it off!

We have heard about Smith Valley, the Old Valley, and the Frost Top drive-in. We haven't heard from the people in Bargersville ? They done stuff in Bargersville didn't they, I know they done stuff. Tell us what went on.

Hey Hawk....
PT lived outside B-Ville.
She says when there was no paint to watch dry, she watched grass growing.
Thank God for the old swimming hole, right?

Gotta ask:

GH, did you do the Yakatori?
And Flygirl, what about Aunt Violette's cookies?

GB,
Actually I have to pick up some red soybean paste, I have never heard of using that, but what the heck. I can get it at the Japanese store we go to. Still sounds good to me.
Hawk,
I left the valley when I got married and moved to B'ville, what a change for me. And they don't even have a swimmin' hole. But I can tell you one thing, everybody knows your name and your business.

Watching paint dry and grass grow were holiday activities, GB. They were special!

What wuz hap’nin' in B'ville? Well, we need to ask Mary U, Ronnie W, Gary P, Billy and Ronnie G. Jeanie B. might have some info on that.

I don't think they had a gathering place like the Bee Hive nor did they have a community center for movies etc. There was a softball diamond and a basketball court behind Paddock's feed mill

Living on the farm, well, I'm not sure what we did!! We helped with the animals, the garden, and of course hay baling. We had weekly cleaning and mowing chores like everybody I guess.

We were in 4-H and took baking, cooking, sewing plus raised steers to show and sell. OH! We went to church in B’ville.

Basketball games were a big deal.

A gang of my cousins and I played barnyard baseball and lots of basketball. My grandfather had a fish pond so we would drown worms out there sometimes

I worked at Hilltop Beach for a while but even that was pretty dull by Smith Valley standards. Heck by ANYbody's standards!

Sometimes we would go to Franklin to see a movie or to the Dairy Queen. (are you in a coma yet?)

PT
You are too funny, I loved it when we lived in your old house. Banta was a rockin' place for us. The area was the best. I loved trips into Podunk.
I just ordered two of the Sweet Potato Queens books and now half way through the first. What a riot.
Thanks for the tip.
