In Mid Air ......

sketch by Sherryl Guthrie Miller
"Uncle John Bob loved the woods, loved to fish and hunt; he didn't care for neighbors too close by. He would move farther out ever so often. Once they were so far out someone would have to ride horseback to the mail box on the main road. He had a lot of hunting dogs, hungry hounds they were... after a meal Aunt Bell would let Sally take the biscuits and cornbread left over and go out on the high porch and toss it out to them. Never did a piece even touch the ground, they would catch it in mid-air. Their house was built way up high off the ground on accound of the floods."
