About the Book

A never ending supply of pretty flowers, plenty to eat and good neighbors gave one little girl a sense of absolute security growing up in the 50's and 60's. A trip down memory lane and a fine tribute to the one parent who influenced Eleanor Lowery Martin the very most. She attributes her strict up-bringing as the reason she has been able to overcome all the trials the devil has put her through. The daughter of the "meanest woman in town" who now realizes that no other way would have worked for Lula Mae Lowery except to keep an upper hand by instilling fear in her off-spring. There would be consequences if they did not behave themselves and do her bidding. You did what she said or she would take a broom to you. Mr. John Willis Nelson owned the dairy farm on Riser Road where Eleanor's daddy was employed until the time of his death. Acres of corn, peas, watermelons, potatoes, onions and other garden vegetables were free for the taking; unlike the items you could get from his wife and have her put it on the book. You could run up to the house and pick up a sack of sugar, flour or the old-fashioned rock salt that you put in a rag and beat with a hammer. On payday, it was deducted from Daddy's paycheck. Lula Mae was a talented seamstress who could quilt and crochet and was known to have all manner of homemaking skills when it came to making clothes, cooking and canning. Another talent was growing cheery flowers and instilling words of wisdom in her children. The interesting thing is the way the flowers tie several generations together. A sign it was time to write this book was when the Four O'Clocks appeared beside the front porch...no one had planted them; they were her mama's favorite flower! This is a true account of a time in Eleanor's younger years as told to Marion McCann.
