A cold front come through Harper County last night and it didn't get no higher than the low eighties today. We're all real glad. It's been one of the hottest summers we ever saw. Down at the cafe this morning, I heard a fellow say it was that global warning thing. He said he never knew who was giving the warning. Warning or not it was hot.
But the cool nights fit right in with me telling you about me meeting Trixie, who turned out to be my third and last wife. That night was the first cool night that year too.
I don't think I told y'all but my business was as a welder. My granddaddy started a blacksmith shop years ago which turned into a welding business with my daddy. I did all kinds of welding jobs, but for fun I did welding art. Still do. And at the county fair I took some of my stuff for sale and display. That's when I first saw Trixie. She was from the next county down and had not been to Harper a lot. I'll have to say she was a knockout. I had done a little metal monkey that could be hung from a tree. And Trixie was real took in by it. She said, "Who did this thing?" And I said "I did." And from then on we was locked in love.
