Note: I need to give you all a timeline of events that I've been typing
because if I'm confused, I know you must be.
1. When were going to my Grandparents Cline home on the hill back of
Burketown, I'm about 12 years old, me being the oldest born to my
parents and my siblings (Roland, Nancy the toddler, and Jerry the
family baby) like stepping stones going downward and maybe 3 years
apart.
2. Moving up in years counting, I'm about 27 years old and married with
with a son named Michael Shane Caricofe. (Note: Michael is active on
on Facebook and has time for that because one of his 2 jobs is being
an Uber driver in Omaha, NE where he lives with his family after
separating from the Air Force and after serving for 8 years. I'm 73 years
old now).
At this age (27), I believe, I was helping Father when he worked for
VEPCO.
3. I also worked at a service station in Harrisonburg and after that as a
a social worker (all services back then) in Page County, VA
(1968-1970, age 28-29) with a pay of $7500 a year and just after that
as a 5th grade teacher (all subjects back then) in Stanley, VA
(1970-1972, age 30-31) witch was also in Page County.
I hope the above gets things in better order for you. I know it has helped
me.
But wait until I tell you about an uncle of mine that is older than one of my
first cousins....
TO BE CONTINUED....
THE ROAD TO MY GRANDPARENTS CLINE....
.... A dog kennel was one of the many places Uncle Paul lived that
where similar and by his own choice and with his dog, and most
of the time, Uncle Paul's dog was the only friend he had....
Other places that I heard he staid where under the bridge that allows vehicles,
walkers, joggers, and Old Order Mennonite horse and buggy's to cross over
the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, on an island that was formed by
the river in it's natural way of doing things and east of the bridge about
1/2 mile more or less away. Another place was the last house on the left
going south on US Route 11 and the last place of his life.
Uncle Paul paid a sum money, unknown to me, to rest, drink his beer and
sleep, perhaps, and the last home for Uncle Paul before cirrhosis of the
liver took his life....
TO BE CONTINUED....
MOTHER AND FATHER
I can remember Father singing 'me o my o' and that's all I remember.
I googled 'me o my o' and came up with a song written and sang by Hank
Willams called "Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"
"Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie...
Later on, swap my mon, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap my mon, to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie..."

"Hiram King "Hank" Williams,.... September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953)
was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Regarded as one of
the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters
of the 20th century....
Williams recorded 35 singles (five released posthumously) that reached
the Top 10 of the Billboard Country & Western Best Sellers chart,
including 11 that ranked number one (three posthumously).
Born in Mount Olive, Butler County, Alabama, Williams moved to Georgiana, where he
met Rufus Payne, a black street performer who gave him guitar lessons in exchange for
meals or money. Payne had a major influence on Williams' later musical style, along
with Roy Acuff and Ernest Tubb. During this time, Williams informally changed his
name to Hank, believing it to be a better name for country music.[citation needed] He
moved to Montgomery, where he began his music career in 1937, when producers at
radio station WSFA hired him to perform and host a 15-minute program. He formed as
backup the Drifting Cowboys band, which was managed by his mother, and dropped
out of school to devote his time to his career...."
TO BE CONTINUED....
Hank Williams lived from September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953. Both Father and
and Mother were born in 1918, Father in February and Mother in August. They
both were about 5 years old when Hank Willams was born. The above
information supplied by Wikipedia states that Hank Willams was actively
writing and singing from 1937 to/thru 1953.
Mother graduated from Weyers Cave High School in 1935 and Father quit
Bridgewater High School before, during or after the 8th grade and I believe
Father quit so he could work and help support his Mother and younger
siblings.
So that was about 1930-1931, the beginning of the depression and dust
bowl in America.
I believe that Father, not Mother, because of the dates above (1937 to/thru 1953),
was a fan of Hank William's country music as I am today....

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
Yesterday, I went to Wooster again thinking I would get two bags of black
mulch for that new corner flower bed. I usual go to Lowes for the mulch and
check out the flowers they have that are greatly reduced in price. As you
go into Lowes' flower and garden entrance there is about 5 large metal
shelving about 2 feet apart, 7 feet tall, and 12 feet on the left after walking
into the entrance for about 6 feet.
I had a list of other things I needed as well as some food items that the rest
of the family needed, so I went to Walmart first. I always have a plans
A, B, C, etc. like I told you all before. I lost the prepared list before I left
the house and it is still somewhere on this approximately 1 acre property.
So I went to plan B before I left the house intending to take my cell phone
with me so I could call back to the house if I had questions about what was
needed. After getting to Walmart, I discovered I had left my cell phone
back at the house. So I go to plan C. My cell phone is not an organ of my
body like it is for most people, so it is usually left alone and charging in
the hooch witch is in the garage that I live in....
TO BE CONTINUED
Update: I just found the list on the gravel driveway just to the right of the
back door if you are going out from the covered deck witch we use as the
main door for leaving and departing the house. And guess what, I got
everything on the list that might have cost about $44.00, but you know
how it is, I spent over $200.00 for other things I needed.
