Letter: Welcome Home

By Carole Thomas

I just wanted to say that I am proud of my nephew Chris for all of his writing skills and this poem is the icing on the cake. There's no place like home- everyone finds that out for himself as the years go by!

We had a wonderful life growing up on the family farm with our cousins. Summers were packed with early morning risings to catch a ride on the back of the old pickup truck to take the milk to the Cheese Plant, then a stop at Les Montgomery's store for a Dr. Pepper and a bag of peanuts. Our other brothers, the Clem Cowans family, held so great a part in our lives. All of the grandchildren chose to stay in Kentucky, with most of us within a short drive to Columbia, except my daughter Sarah, who is in Iowa. She too loves to get back to her roots and does so quite frequently.

With all of this being said, Chris, I hope that you keep up your writing skills AND I don't blame you for waiting to move back home AFTER Billy and Freddy eliminated the milk parlor! Enjoy the farm life as you learn that it's not an easy life but it's so mentally rewarding and you are part of that farm too. Welcome home! --Aunt Carole
