I love the closing voice-overs by Earl Hamner that end each episode...my favorite is that which comes at the end of 'The Bequest' Ep12. S.2...where Grandma inherits some money from an old friend that never comes... ""To their surprise and to our grief, time crept up on those two vigorous old people. I remember that my grandmother at 94 was still beautiful and wore violets in her hair. And as long as he lived, my grandfather insisted that he'd been kissed by every pretty girl who happened to come by our house. How innocent were those days, how rich we are to have known them". My second favorite is the closing narrative of 'Founders Day', Ep.23 S.7, where Hamner describes each member of his family... "Grandpa, in memory I touch your face, a distance from me now, I feel you near. The Coyote will disappear from the earth, and the whooping crane will follow the passenger pigeon, but you will endure through all of time.... Grandma, I touch your hand, and when I do I touch the past. I touch all the small ships that brought us to this country, and all the strong brave women who faced a frontier and made it home....." So beautiful  Which closing narrative is your favorite....? |

I thought the thread said "cussing" words -- getting closer and closer to having cataract operations.....
Didn't we do a thread once on cuss words ?!
