About: Marshall and Sarah (Miller) Harris
I can
vividly remember Grandma Harris (Sarah) watching me when my parents
were working. As you all know she had severe arthritis but never
complained and she would at my request play her records for my
entertainment and I would watch her with her crippled hands put the
needle gently in the old vinyl and together we would listen to Johnny
Cash over and over. I also remember Grandpa Harris (Marshall) coming
home from a hard days work and still having the energy to take a walk
with me through the fields and around the brook looking for Great
Grandpa's cain ( I really don't think there ever was a lost cain) and
I would go upstairs and play with grandpa's black bear rug and
Grandpa would brag how Grandma Harris shot that bear with 1 shot as
she was being attacked.( We all know better) Grandpa would always
save his cookies from his lunch for me, It was fun to see if he had
any in his lunch box. I don't ever recall a time when there were no
cookies. Oh how I miss those days, I wish I were 4 again!
4. Did you ever have an accident, illness, or an operation? Pick one and tell about it.
A few years ago I had slipped of a step of a dump truck and tore up my shoulder and had to have surgery. When I was home recouping I watched a lot of TV and was watching a show about bear's on the Discovery channel. I took my pain medicine and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked in the living room and saw a very big grizzly bear, wondering how the heck the bear got in the house and thought how the heck am I going to get out of the house. I pulled the covers over me and did some serious thinking (my heart is now pounding and wondering if the bear can hear it). I thought about using the phone but it was in the living room with the bear. I looked at the closest window and was preparing myself to throw off the covers and dive through the window. I tried to see where the bear was and when I looked in the living room and looked at the bear I watched it disappear. I realized at that moment that between the Discovery channel and the Vicatain I had imagined the whole thing. I got out of bed and threw away the pain medicine so that could never happen again. That seemed so real, could you imagine the look on my father's face (Phil Harris) as I would have ran to his house after diving threw my window. I still would have the straight jacket on today!
