Carl's Story
Life
I WAS BORN TO COUNTRY PARENTS WHO WORKED HARD ALL THEIR LIVES TO PROVIDE BUT STILL DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY. WHEN I
WAS BORN, THE DOCTOR HAD TROUBLE GETTING ME TO LIVE ALONG WITH MY MOTHER LIVING TOO. I GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY, LEARNING HOW TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS WHILE DOING MY CHORES AND PLOWING THE GARDEN AND FIELD. WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY LIKE MOST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT WE ALWAYS HAD PLENTY OF FOOD. MY FAVORITE MEAL WAS CORNBREAD FRITTERS AND HOMEMADE SYRUP AND BUTTER. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY FOR A LONG TIME BUT WOULD LOVE TO MAKE SOME. YOU KNOW WE GOTTA EAT HEALTHIER NOW DAYS SO WE CAN LIVE LONGER AND PAY TAXES. MY
PARENTS WERE BOTH OVER 80 (MOM WAS 91) WHEN THEY DIED AND THEY ATE HEALTHY FOOD-BUT FATTENING- INCLUDING MUCH PORK BUT THEY WORKED HARD. I LOVE MY OLD HOMEPLACE WHERE I WAS BORN AND NOW ALSO LIVE. I WAS THE ONLY ONE OF MY FAMILY TO GO BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. MY PARENTS ONLY HAD A 3RD GRADE EDUCATION BUT THEY CONTINUED THEIR EDUCATION BY READING EVERYTHING THEY COULD. I WAS 35 WHEN I FIRST MARRIED AND WE HAD 16 YRS TOGETHER WHEN SHE DIED. FOUR YEAR...Expand for more
S LATER I MARRIED AGAIN AND BECAME A "DAD" TO A 14 YR OLD GIRL. WE HAVE CONNECTED. SHE IS "MY DAUGHTER AND I AM HER DAD". SHE HAS BROUGHT MUCH LOVE AND CHANGE TO MY LIFE-ha. SHE MADE ME A GRANDPA IN 9/24/2003.
I HAVE PASTORED AND PREACHED FOR OVER 30 YRS AND HAVE ENJOYED THE INTERACTION. I WAS IN COPIER SALES FOR 4 YRS AND HAD GOOD SUCCESS AND THEN WENT INTO MY OWN BUSINESS FOR 9 YRS AND THEN MY WIFE DIED AND I LOST INTEREST IN IT BUT LASTED FOR ANOTHER YEAR. I DID SALES ON THE ROAD FOR 1 1/2 YRS TIL I GOT TIRED OF HIGHWAYS AND MOTELS. I HAVE BEEN WRITING POEMS FOR ABOUT 30 YRS BUT MOSTLY IN THE LAST 10 AND I HAVE SOME PUBLISHED ON INTERNET SITES. I HAVE HAD MANY GOOD REVIEWS ON THEM. I ALSO HAVE STARTED A STORY AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO IT.
PRESENTLY I WORK AT WAL MART-FOR OVER 2 YEARS-AND ENJOY THE RELATIONSHIP WITH CUSTOMERS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JANUARY 6, 2005 FOR I CAN RETIRE AND DEVOTE MY TIME TO HOPEFULLY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. I'D LOVE TO SEE THE U S A BUT NOT IN A CHEVROLET. YOU OLD FOLKS OUT THERE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT SAYING.
