spills the beans on pioneer Florida. Memaw relates her delightful memories of late 19th century life - turpintine camps, ice cream socials, quilting bees, church meetings, and cane grinds. Meet her irracible mule, Jake, and her cat, Blackdog - with a tail so long you can hang a whole week's wash on it. Then there's the rascally racoon, that kin make an old woman's dream come true...sorta'. Memaw has whole bunch more stories up her sleeve about 'gators, woodstorks, dolphins . . .
