JD's right on the pronouncing pecan, JD, we had about 55 pecan trees on one of my Granddad's pastures, we had a family of Indians that would pick on shares every year. we'd have a shaker come in and shake the trees so all the nuts would be on the ground, Grandma would take them over to Muskogee and sell all but about 200 pounds, she'd have them cracked and we'd have pecans all the next year. sure was good.
my Mom worked at a cotton company for several years, I always liked going to work with her and going back in the grading room, that cotton smelled good.
