"you May Be Country If"

[PAPPY]

Sure wish those day's could return but I'm afraid the way society is today it will never happen. That is the way I raised my family and that is the way my Son's are raising their famlies. At least they were able to see the light and know that is the best way to be raised. I still live as close to those day's that I possibly can and I will till the day they put me in the ground !
