2/16/2009 The Pond

When Mom was about 12 she Grandma Mary and Laverne lived near this area by the train tracks and 6th Street in Fort Scott. This was a pond then. She never swam in it. She thought it was way deeper than it is. Grandma worked at Karbie's grocery store on Main Street where that Pizza place is. One or two doors away. She would hang the laundry outside. She would feed the Hobos that came to the back door. She would give them some bread and butter or stew whatever she had and they would sit on the back porch. She said sometimes it is the little things you do that makes all the differnce to someone. The rock you see in not a manmade wall it is the natural sedimentary stone so commom to this area of Kansas.
