Rise and shine guys, it’s time for another Ridin’ Out the Recession! We’d like to welcome you back this morning and tell you once again…THANKS FOR COMING!
Deb and I’ve been really blessed in this endeavor by getting to know, and associate with so many good people! Once more…you guys are just great! We absolutely love doing this, and through your help, hopefully we’ve done someone, somewhere a little good.
What to talk about with you guys today…how about a little story? The “tale” this morning, is one I heard years ago, and I thought it to be hilarious! I hope you guys enjoy it too.
Tommy was about 9 years old, and lived with his Uncle Vint, and Aunt Jesse. I have no idea what happened to Tommy’s parents, but they had raised Tommy from a child.
This took place in the wilds of Florida in the late 1800s.
The family had it rough, as most “crackers” did back then. They lived on a little farm place, and just barely eked out a living.
Uncle Vint was a short, stout man, extremely powerful, but an absolute pleasure to be around…unless you crossed him! He liked to laugh and cut up, but was known far and wide for his work ability, his concern for Aunt Jesse and Tommy, and if he told a man something, it was a done deal.
Aunt Jesse was a thin woman, who looked a little older than her years. It was a tough life they lived, but Aunt Jesse never complained, maybe because, who would have listened if she had. It was fact she loved Uncle Vint, and him her, so what they lacked in many material things, was made up by their care for one another.
Tommy was a little small for nine, but made up for it with toughness, both physical, and mental. He was freckle faced, and blonde-headed with a pretty strong red tint mixed in. Aunt Jesse used to tell him that was from his Momma’s side of the family. He was quiet unless spoken to, and loved his Aunt and Uncle both!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
