Chasing fire flies

Barefooted on a summer's night fresh cut grass
The smell of honeysuckle fill my senses
Chasing fire flies Mason jar in hand
Wonderful memories I hope will last

What I like and want

The best meal I've had lately was Saturday.

Wish I could say it was from the kitchen of West Georgia Health System but it wasn't.

Someone brought me some home cooked big white butter beans and a slice of cornbread and it was delicious.

All meals here at the OFH are prepared at the hospital and brought over on what I call the chuck wagon(Ford van)breakfast being the only meal prepared on the premises and  it is excellent.

This being a southern town I wish more southern type cooking was done.Food like beans and peas,fried taters,cornbread here is excellent but some fried fritters or flitters take your choice of what you call them,things like this.

Not so much of that baked chicken,baked fish,baked pork you get the picture.How can it be healthy if you're not eating it and skipping meals ?

Thrill us a bit with tacos,chili dogs and oh please maybe an onion with our hot dogs and burgers and vegetables.Speaking of vegetables I'm not talking about this what's called Italian mixed capri stuff that really is just unseasoned frozen vegetables.I could go on with what would be good but it's 12 hours till breakfast and I've made myself hungry.

Lately food has been a big disappointment for me.

Maybe I'm just spoiled.

But I know what I like and want when it comes to food.

Silver birds

The wine of a low flying jet woke me up this morning.

From my window I watch the big airliners fly like ducks in a row on a wire it seems every minute or so into the worlds busiest airport Atlanta's Hartsfield/Jackson.

Really the airport is in Clayton county not Atlanta and the fictional  home of Tara from Gone With the Wind.

Aunt Pauline lived in Jonesboro and she would ask where I wanted to go when visiting her as a little boy and the answer was Grant's Park where the zoo was or the airport.

Back in the old days when the world was innocent and the word terrorist didn't exist we drove right up near the runway separated only by a fence and watched the smoking multi engine prop jets take off and land.

Years later there was an observation deck which was added to the new control tower and it was right over the runway.Those huge 747's with their low whining sound of four jets engines were an unforgettable sight so were the multi engine DC's of Southern Airlines.
