Today I was thinking about going up to Gram's & Gramps' in the summer when we were younger. In Atlanta Phil was telling us how jealous he & Scotty were that they had to go to bed at their regular time & we got to stay up around the campfire. Aunt Lill was pretty strict. I was thinking of one time when she was hopping mad: We were eating our "Christmas" type dinner where we cooked a turkey over the fire & buried the potatoes underneath, etc. & one of Gramps' birds--a chicken or a turkey--came along & snatched Scotty's food right out of his hand. Besides the dirt factor, Aunt Lill was not happy about the birds running around stealing food from her kids! The dirt factor drove her nuts too! She was constantly sweeping out the trailer & washing all of her kids. If one of them got crazy & got too dirty there was trouble waiting for them from their mom!
