Folklore and Tall Tales

Most of us have community stories and tall tales that we share around a campfire or a candle lit stormy night. Early settlers to America had little means of communication with others outside their immdediate area, and most had little education. So, folklore and superstition took the place of 24X7 news stories. Some of those stories are fascinating, some are funny and some are scary. One legacy of seniors is memory of the stories. This is a place to share them with fun and respect for those who thrived in hardships with the best information available to them.

I will be out of touch for a little while I have had quite a lot of things going on. For those who don't know me I started a project about a year ago ( Used Medical Aids Foundation ) I just got several truck loads of wheelchairs walkers scooters from a county hospital and have 2 truck loads from another hospital to get. I go threw the items and fix them up as close to new as I can then I post them in other groups that I belong to. There is no money involved no donation required only the need. I have several letters from people in my area that need something so I am trying to get as many ready as i can. I am getting help from the Boy Scouts in my area because I'm still not up to par yet but I can turn a wrench. so if I don't respond to the wonderful stories, poems, jokes, or pictures its because this santa is really busy right now.
