Our Song
““Whatcha thinkin’?” I ask.
“I think this is beautiful. You described a rinky-dink town, and this house isn’t rinky-dink. Do y’all own all this land?”
“Yup. It’s been in the family for years. You see that little farm house right there?” I point out the window to the right. “That’s my mawmaw and pawpaw’s. They bought this when my pawpaw came home from the war. He always wanted his own farm like his dad but bigger, and that’s what he got. Daddy loved it just as much and decided to build on the lan...d and run the farm with him. We sell cotton to all the local factories within the southeast.”
“In other words, people know exactly who y’all are in town,” he responds.
“No, it’s not like that here. Lattimore is a tight-knit community. We all work together, and my family provides a lot of jobs for people in town. We aren’t the biggest farm in town, if that’s what you’re wondering.”
Pulling up to the house, Jake puts the truck in park. He is in complete awe, and it totally throws me off guard.MoreLess
