There Was One Thing My Daddy Wouldn't Tolerate In Any Shape, Form Or Fashion, And That Was Being Unkind Or Rude To Somebody. That Was Just Very Important To My Folks. And As It Turns Out, That Was A Legacy That He Left Me That Money Can't Buy, Is How To Be Able To Treat People.

It Wasnt Until I Was A Sophomore In High School That I Asked Mama If I Could Come Into The Kitchen And Have Her Teach Me How To Cook Something. Well, I Wasnt In There Five Minutes Before She Said, Ok, Honey, You Have To Go Now. I Made Her So Nervous She Was About Ready To Throw Up. So I Really Didnt Have An Interest In Being In The Kitchen Until After I Was Married, When I Was 18. It Didnt Take Me Long To Realize That Mama Was Not Going To Show Up At My House Every Day And Cook.
