Big Sandy, Tennessee
I am now staying with my friends, Ron and Naomi, in Big Sandy, Tennessee. They were my neighbors twenty-five years ago when we all lived in Paris, Tennessee. Naomi and I used to eat sunflower seeds and drink Mountain Dew until late in the night. Our houses used to face a pasture with grazing cows. Now the cows are gone, but the pasture is still there. Their house in Big Sandy is in a rural area with beautiful trees across the street.
Today, we took a ride in this tiny four-wheel-drive truck called a Kabota. We went through the woods, and I rescued this poor turtle that had tried crawling through a fence and gotten stuck. I don't know if it will survive or not, but at least it's free now.
Last night there was a big storm and a tornado watch. It was pretty and kind of exciting! I remember these storms when I used to live here. I'd sit by my picture window, and watch the lightening as if it was a light show.
