What adventures life was in the olden days, when life was simpler, and more laid back.

Looking back on those days, without many of the modern conveniences, things were harder, but it taught them good work ethic. Religion was important to families of those days. They attended the Louisville Methodist Church in the community.

Mostly everybody knew each other in small towns, people would see each other in town, and have conversations; mostly people would congregate at church, or maybe go to town, to shop, or maybe see the latest movie at the theater.

Years ago the Peebles Libray was in a small building, next door to what at one time was the Five and Dime store.

Things have changed, but the old hometown remains in the heart.

This drawing is the first drawing in my new book that I am working on.

Two original members have reunited, they have reformed the band, and I got to see them 3/11/2023, with a meet and great. They are as good now, as they ever were.
