Pawpaw Holler Home

“Don’t git stressed out –ye’ll git the shingles!”

On having to tote water into the house all week:

“All this totin’ water makes me feel like I’m back in the Pigpen Holler days…and them girls sure could use the water!”

(5 sisters)

“Deciverous…hardwoods. Coniverous…pines

-m r trees, m r!”

“Don’t go lookin’ fer snakes, if you do you’ll find ‘em ever’ time. Go on yer way, don’t worry ‘bout ‘em and 9 times outta 10 you’ll never see ‘em.”

After breaking the umpteenth pair of bootlaces this year:

“Ain’t nothin’ made right no more. When I was growin’ up, we used groundhog hide -groundhog hide makes the best bootlaces. We’d skin ‘im out and tack the hide up on the smokehouse; when we needed some laces we’d go cut us off a strip.”

“What’d we do with the rest of the groundhog? We eat ‘im!”

“I know I’m just a “dumb ol’ hillbilly”, but I do know how to add!”

Do you know what a wok is?

“You know what a wok is…a wok’s what you thwow at a wittle bitty wabbit.

You thwow a wittle wok at a wittle wabbit and a big wok at a big wabbit.”

“Whur’s the cornbread?!”

“He’s (or she’s) got “triflinitis”.”

“It’s better to make a whole lotta little dollars than one big dollar.”
