Home grown maters

Home grown tomatoes.These store bought maters have no taste but homegrown maters are something to wish for.Take loaf bread,mayo,salt and pepper slice a mater and you have some delicious simple eating.People have started their gardens and I ain't to proud to beg and have asked already for some handouts when the maters get ready.This story started out about Lewis Grizzard Great American.Looking on the Internet for photos of him I seen this pic of the maters and well the story just took another direction.I miss reading Lewis Grizzard's little stories in the Atlanta Journal every day.I have read a few of his books,really they where Mom's she loved his stories like me.Titles like"don't bend over in the garden granny cause them taters have eyes"and Elivs is dead and I don't feel well myself".He was born up the road from here in Moreland,Ga. just a small spot in the road.He often talked of his failed marriages and his beloved dog Catfish.Once in an Atlanta cafe he heard some people at the next table laugh and complain about food,people and everything else from the South.Turning around this is what he told them"If Ya Don't Like Dixie!Delta Is Ready When You Are!"Well said Lewis Grizzard Great American.Like someone told me once nothing last forever but his stories will.
