further on down the road

the postman stops at the store at the junction.....Pettigrew's old place.....it's a contract post office, as well as selling foodstuffs, dry goods, and what all....you go into the back and you can get some corn whiskey and cold water in a fruit jar.....mighty refreshing.....young Jake is back there with his rifle all taken apart, cleaning it up good.....Grandma Pettigrew is back there too, doing some needlework and smoking a corncob pipe. Sarah is in the kitchen, and something smells good. But you got to keep moving, or you won't get there....so up and off!
