Tales of Harper, short stories and poems
about the fictional town of Harper, Mississippi is available on Amazon Kindle
Yesterday I was out at the old Hassle farm out on County Road 6. The Bogue Chitto River runs right through the farm and sometimes we go out there for boat rides. At least we used to. Hank Hassle, the current owner, took me down to a place on the river bank and showed me the remains of an old boat I helped build several years ago. His daddy came up to my welding shop one day with two old Ford car hoods on the back of his truck and asked me to weld them together. The old boat was pretty well rusted out, from neglect I guess, but just seeing it brought back memories of me and Bethel, my first wife, and our kids riding up and down that little river.
