Just A Woman
LUCIFER THE DOG Our next-door neighbors were old friends of my parents, particularly my mother. Miss Lydia (not her real name) would come by daily just to chitchat with Mamma and lived with her boyfriend Clyde (not his real name). They were an interesting couple, as she was tall and thin, and he was average height and of a stocky build. Big-hearted and the life of the party, those two were known to be the first in the neighborhood to celebrate just about anything.

THE CASTOR OIL MIRACLE At certain times in my life during elementary school, I didn’t want to go to school, especially from fourth through sixth grades. I was talked about and picked on constantly and didn’t want to go, so I tried a few times to fake sick. I got away with staying home a couple of times, but Mamma later caught on. She devised a plan that would get me to do just about anything I didn’t want to do….by giving me castor oil.

A POT OF GRITS AND A POT OF RICE Daddy was popular in Savannah because of his radio shows on WSOK and WEAS, but we were not too snobby for the basics. We had a nice house in a nice neighborhood, cooked our own food, and did our own chores. We were not the ones to buy sprawling mansions and have live-in maids once a dollar found its way into the house. My parents came from modest means, so my mother went back to work part-time when my little sister started school. She joked that she didn’t want to be another bored, upper-middle class housewife who became a ‘card-playing alcoholic’.
