Fayrene Farmer wrote many thing and they were usually funny. Here is one.
NAMES ARE IMPORTANT
IT'S NICE TO NAME PIECES OF REAL ESTATE. I CALL OUR FARM NUBBIN RIDGE. MY DAD NAMED THE AREA WHERE WE LIVE NUBBIN RIDGE YEARS AGO. HIS REASON: THE POOR, ROCKY SOIL WOULD ONLY GROW CORN "NUBBINS" IN COMPARISON TO THE BIG EARS ALONG YOCUM CREEK WHERE I GREW UP.
MY SISTER LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE BUT OWNS PROPERTY NEAR US. ONE PIECE OF LAND IS QUITE SMALL AND BORDERS YOCUM CREEK. MY HUSBAND USUALLY IDENTIFIES TO IT WITH THE EXPRESSION, " YOUR SISTER'S LITTLE BOTTOM!" I AM WORKING ON A NEW NAME THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE AND NOT QUITE SO GRAPHIC.
WE NEED TO NAME THINGS.

I've left you a "prize" on my site, right below your mention of it. (Sorry it couldn't be a toaster oven.)
Patsy, Fayrene wrote a tribute to
me once when i was in school. If I
could find it...I would put it up
on my blog...so long ago.
