Questioning Aunt Nellie was an eyeopener. Her face, some said, was like the wrinkled Black Hills but it was weathered in smiles and mischief when we asked her most favorite things. She said quite simply:
"A full box of wooden matches, a jar of mentholatum, the smell of coffee . . . and I reckon any kind of fresh fruit.
Young children were sent to neighbors to borrow fire . . . and when our legs ached E li si rubbed kerosene on them to warm the muscles. The other things are just something I liked and still do. No, we didn't have anything, but we knew how to hunker down until the hard times passed."
And then she added, "People need to learn how to do that now."
Say to us if you can say it, that you were sent by the Creative Power.
