Paul and Cylde -- I truly enjoy reading your stories every day. Your stories bring back
so many fond memories for me. Don't ever stop with the stories about Floyd Co., VA!! Do you remember
spring houses and catching "crawdads " out of the water trough your drinking water came from? Do you remember
skimming the cream and bit's of butter outta that churn still sittling in the spring house after fresh butter was made?
Did you ever have to wander through a cow pasture with your parent/grandparent looking for and cutting greens
for dinner? Were those called mustard greens? I certainly remember the "chinka pins" and wish I could find some
today, as they taste so good. I also remember a swinging bridge across little river (it still exists today). I played
on this particular bridge every morning
prior to catching a school bus. This bridge still exists today on what's now called Indian Valley Road, but when I played there
as a child waiting on a school bus was called Snowsville, VA. Is this the same swinging bridge Clyde mentioned or was that
a different bridge?
