The Family:
About a hundred
years ago, a well known American artist, Grant Wood, painted a picture that
looked something like this. He called his rendition, “American Gothic” because
of the gothic style window in the background.
Mine doesn’t exactly have a gothic style window in it, so I titled it
“American Outhouse”.
The couple you see
here are my Uncle Ed and his lovely wife Edna. They are likely the most
mismatched couple on earth. She is certain that the road to Heaven runs through
her approval, and Uncle Ed is taking an alternate route.
Uncle Ed: Edner, what
should I do if one of them tornados comes a swoopin down at me?
Aunt Edna: Run out
there with a stick and chase it off.

My mother had so much faith, she didn't believe a tornado would ever hit her house, then one night after Daddy was gone, one blew away his big workshop and a corner of her family room. Her faith is still strong.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the outhouse story and the storm in A Painted House by John Grisham.
