Influences

I never in a million years believed I would have kids who were born outside of Appalachia, #1 was born in Beckley while #2 and #3 were both born in Providence.  If you listen close to their speech patterns you can easily detect which is from where.  #1 will occasionally slip a little twang into her speech while #2 is all the time dropping vowels and adding "hah" to the middle of words.  But the other day beat all I ever heard.  

While looking at a picture in a book, he called hey dad look I found Walder.  That's right not Waldo, but Walder.  Oh brother.
