When I was just a young little sprout, I never realized the enormous value of that old rockin' chair we had on the front porch. I would, however, sit there just rockin' away for hours on end. One day this lady that lived on Lowry street came to pay Mom a visit ( for you that don't know, Lowry Street was the block just north of where we lived). Now, the reason she did this was for a good thing. She didn't have any kids of her own...guess she couldn't.
