    She has been saving her $ and when the traders came to town she bought some of the old kerosene lamps so she could sit in her old rocking chair as she was writing for her first book. I wonder what she wrote in the book probably about the saloon fights. Hopefully we can read the book to let all of you know what it is about!

    Henry Ford stopped in to see Marsye, Sue & Gert one day. He showed him his new invention! Marsye thought "Old Yellow" might need a rest and went for a ride with Henry.

    They finally found a picture of Marsye's dad. He loved a good smoke too.

    Marsye's dad's old buddy was so sad about forgetting to put his his best old buddie's name on the cemetery sign that he just took an ole jug of rye out to the Kudzu patch and no one has seen him since, but there are stories of his ghost haunting the South ever since .

    The rumor in town is that Marsye has many boyfriends as they visit from other towns on wagon wheel named "Merry We Will Go" (wonder what that means, ha ha) The horse handler man on the wagon wheel is named Mr. Wildman! Marsye has been writing about the expierence in her book. hummm, I wonder what she wrote, maybe Marsye will tell us.

    As Marsye sat smoking her cigar, writing her memoirs and sorting a trough full of scraps the sound of a gun shot startled her, causing the cigar to fall from her lips in to the pile of scraps...

    Now when Marsye went for a ride with Henry they decided to stop by the lake and get some inspiration for her quilts! When Henry started to get fresh even Marsye's saloon days couldn't help her. But because she was such a wonderful and inovated person she had Henry in stiches before he knew it.

    one day the army came through recruiting they heard about the pox children, and that most of them had grown up.Marsye let a few of them go with a tear in her eye, but some of them she just wouldn't let go.Fredome isn't free and it is a good cause but please Sir let boys be boys till they are old enough to make up there own minds.

    Henry Ford bought some of Marsye's old quilts and she wanted to show off her new kitchen. She loves sitting at the table with her kerosene lamp when she is writing for her second book. Lots of rumors in town that she has a crush on Henry Ford.
