Fast time

Whew!!   Ain’t this fast time sompin’ else?  Hit’ll take some gittin’ use to fer me — when I wuz a young woman, I hit the floor a-runnin’ of a mornin’, but hit ain’t that way no more.  I had to be told to git up this mornin’.

Me deef as I am and I thought I heer’d sompin durin’ the night — John got up to see.  Course there wadn’t nothing, but we had a time anyway.  There’s a motion light in the hall and when he started back to bed he couldn’t get the lights turned off. Well, the motion light won’t go out ’til you move on.  Old folks have a time!!

Years ago we used to come over here to visit John’s folks and his daddy wouldn’t never change his clock.  He called this fast time and slow time.  Well, as you already know, Georgie is a air ahead of Alabamer to start with and here we’d come hungry and hit’s 12:00 Georgie time and by their clock hit was 10:00.  We’d nearly starve to death before dinner was ready.

I’ll have a time fer a few days a-gittin’ use to this and I haf to learn to git up!!  My mother used to say hit was sorry folks what laid up in the bed when the sun wuz up a-shin’.  Oh my,  hit’s still country living.
