A Cooling Dip

"And my dad was real good, after a long, hot day of work, there was a swimming hole on New Hope which was just down below our house. Now, he always went with us, he was good about taking us to New Hope for a dip, a cooling dip in the water. I played doll house, out there under one of the barn shelters, I fixed me up a little playhouse. I had a little kitchen, I had a little living room. You get all kind of creative things to do. I don't remember--I remember having a doll to play with and I'd play house with my doll, you know. And then I got old enough to have to join the work crowd."
