I went on my first walk on the trail this year. It was wonderful. I am loving this.

Sherri.....

.....Boy can I remember the coal mining days.   My Grandpa died from black lung and my favorite uncle fell down a coal mine shaft and died of a broken neck.   All my childhood our home was heated by a big coal furnace in the basement that Mom or Dad had to go down and stoke the thing and poke the coals in the furnace to keep them burning.   The coal man would bring our coal and shovel it into the basement through a basement window.
