There were like these pins pushed through holes on every corner of the barrel like thing with many holes drilled all along the curvature of each corner. It was a Saturday morning and we all had chores to do and especially today, because Daddy and Mom had last night told that we would have guest later on tomorrow as they told us last night. Found one of my good dresses and put it on and didn’t care to wear anything under that anyway. I wanted so to run away from there Patti and I was barely 18 then but oh how I wished someone would come take me away from there. I could hear their voices coming from the kitchen but just could not make out what they were all talking about. Momma finally caught up to them and led the charge towards our house, I just figured they were coming to the house and let all the other men and few other women do their business in that barn. It was like this saddle Patti but yet it wasn’t a saddle just a thick leather thing thrown over a small but long open ended barrel it was laid over and it was really strange looking Patti, and it was adjustable.
