A Visit To Grandma

You're not only from Kings mtn., NC, but also a Henderson, if you remember a kind of chunky older lady sitting at the table playing cards, dipping snuff and spittin' in a can on the floor, playing smut while whistling "she'll be coming round the mtn", between her top two middle teeth, looking over the rim of her glasses and cheating with Ed Whitstine who was sitting across the table humming. Lord, I miss my grandma.

A touching dedication to your grandma. I can just imagine her playing cards, dipping snuff, spittin' in the can and whistling "She'lll be comin' round the Mountain." She must have been quite a character, Charles. Love, Carolyn
