shhh. anyways - I thought of your bil when I talked of my Uncle James... the little things in story and keepsake that might matter to your daughters, it seems they were involved and loved him.

as to discriptive - it is simple porch talk. my Granny was the storyteller. I'd sit on the porch with her and she'd tell me stories. And I'd ask for some over and over or more detail or tell me more about so and so.

A great unspoken was James. She never spoke of him and I never asked. The story was in that jar of marbles on the porch and the drawer I opened to find his pipes and razor etc. It is one thing if your child dies young and you save such things, but he was 44 and it had been 24 years... but she never parted with the things dearest to him. even his push mower still stood in the barn. she was as harsh an old dirt farmer woman as could be, but maybe you didn't know till you found that jar... you being moi.

and a lil southern tale of lil southern people? :) perhaps, Alan of the motorcycle. perhaps.

I had a friend in SF, as wild a dyke as you could meet... she drowned when I was 31, but that aside... I used to tell her tales that Granny told me, and Granny liked to tell tales of her Granny - Annie Johnson. And Autumn (the wild friend), especially when she was sad, would ask me... tell me another story of Annie. I guess you just never know.
