Sitting in the shop enjoying the cool air that the rain brought. Zapped me back to the fifties. When a nice cool summer rain would have us on the screened in porch, getting settled in for the night.

Our porch in Corinth, before I-35E, ran the length of the south side of the house. We had many chairs and cots out there because we didn't even have fans much less A/C.

Oh we did have one fan, a table model with brass blades and a guard on the front that you could stick a small dog through. I still have that fan,it's a little grouchy now and the motor gets hot when it is turned on so it's just a decoration.

I spent many a night on that porch in the summer time.

I remember nights when it was so hot my Momma would sprinkle water on my sheets before I went to bed, with one of those bottles you used to dampen your ironing.

I can hear the tree frogs right now, damn they are loud tonight.
