AUTHOR’S NOTE: I grew up on Westerns. My grandfather didn’t enjoy them, he was more of a NASCAR fan, but my grandmother did. She was industrious, as a lot of southern women who grew up in the depression era were. I remember a Sunday afternoon matinee on one of the three networks they got on their television that showed a Western each week. After church, she would take my brother and I to Big Chef for burgers and fries, and then back to her house for homemade chocolate pie or some other treat. Then we’d sit on the couch to watch a movie at 2:00. Even as she watched, she was busy knitting an afghan or sewing a quilt, or shelling peas from her garden. In the fall and winter, we would spend an hour gathering pecans from their six pecan trees, and she would shell them while we watched the westerns. Her favorite was Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and when it came on, she would roast the pecans with sugar and butter so we had special treats to snack on during the movie.
