I have wanted to do this layout for a long time. All I had was on photo from the 70's, I made it larger in PSE but I didn't change anything else because that is what gives it the memories. Journaling reads:
It was winter of 1978. Texas is great for ice storms. It just keeps sleeting till it builds up on everything. This was one of those winters. The ice was so heavy that it made the roofs cave in on the chicken houses in Ashdown, AR. Jim went to get chickens for us to kill and pluck. He cut their heads off, Maureen and I plucked them and Mom gutted them. He had to leave before we could finish so he told me he would show me how to cut their heads off. We went out there and he put their heads down on a stump and hit it with an ax. He said just one whack and it is off. Well his one whack didn't do it and now we have a chicken with his head hanging on by a thread. There was blood out there on the snow, it looked like a massacre. I said “No Way”. So Jim cut all the chickens heads off and just put them in a big box. Before we could finish they got rigor mortis and were stiff. You had to dunk them in warm water and it smelled so nasty. There were feathers everywhere and they were sticking to the bottoms of Monica's P.J.'s. We finally finished them and cooked dinner....what did we cook...yeah dumb idea...FRIED CHICKEN!! We didn't eat it nor did we eat even one of those chickens, I ended up giving them to a lady I worked with and she said they made great chicken salad. They were a bit tough for just cooking normal. I still love chicken but I will buy mine from the grocery store in little packages.
