How I Met Patti
I met Patti when she was living in Butcher Holler, Kentucky where her father worked the coal mines. Butcher Holler was a rural town of poorly built houses nestled in the hills of Kentucky. I was the highest bidder at a once-a-year auction where young ladies in town would auction off pies they baked to the young men in town. The highest bidder, me for Patti's chocolate pie, would get the pie and a date with the girl who baked it. I had just returned from service in World War Two and knew her before I left. She lived in small house in the hills with her folks and many younger brothers and sisters.
Wait! That was Loretta Lynn in The Coal Miners Daughter. Not me and Patti. I need to stop watching that <i>every </i>time it's on TV.
