Good evening, Tipper.
Thanks for starting the Blind Pig & The Acorn group. I'm looking forward to participating here.
My Mom and Pop were almost old enough to be my grandparents when I was born and I learned a lot about Appalachian heritage from them.
Until the day he died, Pop called a sack a "poke." One day, in a grocery store, he told the young clerk that he needed a poke for something he had just bought. She looked puzzled for a moment and then said, "OK." She leaned forward and gently poked him in the ribs! You should have seen the look in his eyes, then he started laughing and said, "No, I need something to put those vegetables in."
Years ago, when I was first thinking about moving to Murphy, I read the entire Foxfire series of books and still have them. Your blog, the Blind Pig & The Acorn, reminds me of those books.
All the best,
JD
