Jimmy? Who Are You Talking to? |  | 
told by James Heath (as told to April Heath Pastis) After your mom and me got married we lived with mom's mom for a short time in a house on Avenue A. We stayed up in the second floor and we didn't have much furniture at all. In fact, I think we were using some lawn furniture for chairs. Anyway, Jimmy couldn't have been more than two or three, he probably was two because I remember we borrowed your grandma's rocking chair so Donna could rock the baby (Curtis).

The Truth about the Trail of Tears | |
by James E. Bradford When Kathy and I moved to Knox County, Tennessee, in the Community of Concord, we very quickly found out that being from Middle Tennessee was not a thing that one talked about. It was hard for us to understand why there was so much hate and resentment for Middle Tennessee. They referred Middle Tennessee as the "Land of the Devil Worshipers" and to Andrew Jackson as "The Devil himself walking on earth".

Love is in the Air | |
Contributed by April Heath Pastis Steve's great aunt, who speaks in broken Greek-lish (a mixture of Greek and English), told me a lovely story about how her mother married her father when he "crashed" the wedding.

The Perfect Fishin' Hole | |
Maybe there's something to the Scottish stereotype of being thrifty, because my mother has always appreciated a good deal. And this was a great deal. When I was about 10 years old, my mother had saved enough Blue Chip stamp books to buy my brothers, my sister and me each a fishing pole of our own. Now, I don't know how many stamps or how long it took her to save up but I do remember that every time she went to the grocery store, she got Blue Chip stamps.
