Book Synopsis
Book 2 (Color Version) of Harold Sinclair Thompson's collection of stories of growing up in Mississippi. Harold, now 101, has moved to Colorado and is enjoying life in a new place. He is a model of living happily with diversity and being a friend to all. His forward reads:
"Notice: Don’t use this book to learn how to spell.
...
I really can’t waste any more time trying to find how to spell a word – I know what it means, so why bother? So, from now on, I’m writing my own dictionary. Come to think about it, what did they know about what a word means? Anyway, you need to guessoligy sometimes. Look it up in Webster’s and see what you get.
...
That’s enough time, give it your own meaning and go on with it.
So I tell it like it was – truth hurts sometimes…so let it be."
