dbl marker/ w/o William Melvin Yielding /Together Forever

She was a farmwoman. I remember when she had a cow that she milked and it 
wouldn't give milk for anyone but her. I spent many wonderful days with her on 
their farm. She made the best biscuits and gravy on an old wood stove. She kept 
the milk in the wooden bucket in the well to keep it from spoiling. I loved her 
because she always let the kids eat first. She said the grow-ups took to long. 
They sat and talked when they were through eating
