When I was notified the elementary school of my childhood was having a reunion of all its classes, I thought back to those storied days. I loved that school mightily. Every day I leaped enthusiastically off the last bus then skipped happily into the red brick, one story building. The lunch room was down a dark stairway passage onto a dark gray concrete floor that led to a screen door and into the lunchroom.

Something happened recently that reminded me, strongly, of why I have always supported locally-owned businesses. I grew up in a rural town where we had a Sears, J.C. Penney, and a Belk.

Of all the animals on the Rondarosa, perhaps the most unusual is a possum I raised from a baby. His name is Pokey. Tink was out of town that summer, shooting a television series. This is important to know because he would NEVER have allowed a baby possum to be treated with love and live in our garage.

It’s the first two weeks of summer when the world is awhirl with different shades of green, blackberry winter has passed and the days are warmed to perfection which are particularly enchanting. The trees are fully filled out and the kudzu has begun its annual take over of telephone poles and shacks long abandoned. Always, I have said that autumn is my favorite season and it is for all the beautiful colors with which it adorns the earth in the colder parts of the country.

Sometimes when my husband, John Tinker, finishes writing a television script, he will skip down the stairs to find me. It’s funny but I can tell his mood or what kind of news he is going to deliver by the gait he uses as he tumbles down the stairs. If it’s bad or unexpectedly good news, he comes fast and hard. If he has had a good call or the script is going well, his steps are hard and deliberate. If all is normal, he descends gently and light of foot.
