I remember looking up and thinking my favorite Great Uncle was the tallest skinniest man I had ever seen.
He would sit in his old chair in the corner with his legs stretched out, a floor lamp very near his chair, seems to me he smoked Camels and would sit there and read his paper back cowboy novels.
Across the room sat Aunt Madeline , I loved her dearly and still miss her.
She would sit there in her chair , watch her hands ever so quickly move the thread in and out with the needle as she would crochet another doily. That was just what they did.
All through the years each time I would go for a visit they would be doing the same thing, as I grew older I wondered how many doilies and how many paper back books they had went through!
Uncle Sam was a tough man,he was a logger in his younger years, he also worked in the shipyards and had the bad back and legs from many years of hard work.
I never seen him without his cowboy boots, jeans and this huge big flashy belt buckle. He and his brother Jack were real cowboys.
I loved going to visit him and Aunt Madeline, and would always wait with much anticipation when I knew they were coming to visit at the farm.
