Jessie nearly fell off his chair from laughing so hard. In fact, it took me several moments to gain control of the class because we were all in stitches! I teach the class with the oldest church members (up to 93 years old and counting) and each one is a joy to teach! They are a spirited bunch with lots of sage & wisdom and yes, some dry humor, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-68917262292776242342012-10-07T09:21:52.657-04:002012-10-07T09:21:52.657-04:00Bear, here is a wonderful article about traditiona...Bear, here is a wonderful article about traditional Ocracoke Island blackberry dumplings: <a href="http://www.ncfolk.org/NCFood/OcracokeBlackberryDumplings.aspx" rel="nofollow"> http://www.ncfolk.org/NCFood/OcracokeBlackberryDumplings.aspz</a><br /><br />This will answer your question.<br /><br />Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-76513487964608590192012-10-06T19:12:07.900-04:002012-10-06T19:12:07.900-04:00Thanks for the humorous antidote.

Which style did your grand mother use?<br /><br />TTFN Bear MacDonaldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-30905574257003084262012-10-06T18:00:54.697-04:002012-10-06T18:00:54.697-04:00That was in SUNDAY School!!!!

Love her sense of humor. <br /><br />Gotta share this one...this lady I'm talking about has a dry sense of humor. One of the fellows in our class was a constant talker. When Jessie had something on his mind, the man would twist in his chair 'til he nearly fall off his seat just to get my attention. One Sunday, our subject was on death. Jessie started getting restless and I called on him. He replied, "I'm sorry to interrupt your lesson, Ms. Nancy, but I just want to tell everyone I'm not afraid of dying. No sir! I just want to make sure I'm good and dead though when that wooden lid comes down on me." Without missing a beat, the lady who reminds me of Philip's grandmother replied in a deep and monotone voice, "Well, Jessie, if you ain't talking, then you'll be good and dead!!!!"<br /><br />NC Mainlander couldn't resist sharing.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-15669876677855795572012-10-06T12:03:16.288-04:002012-10-06T12:03:16.288-04:00Oooh, indeed.
