The Last Outhouse

We had a big happening here in Harper yesterday. The last outhouse were tore down. It were one what was used by Mr. Happy Mortonside up till he had to go to the nursing home. That were about five year ago, but his daughter Waverlene were afraid to tear it down for fear he would come home one day and raise all heck if it warn't there for him. Happy died last year but Waverlene were scared he would be hurt by its destruction even if he were in heaven. As luck would have it she had her mind made up for her by nature. It were struck by lightning and burned near up, so Waverlene saw it as a sign that the outhouse were supposed to go. So her and her son Bump went out and finished things up. They wanted to put up some kind of reminder where it were sitting, kinda in memory of her daddy, so they built a brick barbecue grill right on the spot. Now her back yard looks a lot better. Smells better too.
