Anyway, I was wanting to go home all the time and one time there was some campers come along...you might have heard me tell Robert that.  Any way, come along and stopped in front of the house, a woman...I don't remember anything about anyone but the woman...but anyway, I went out there and Willie went with me...her little boy.  We went out there and talked to the people and that woman asked if I wanted her to tell my fortune.  I was 16 or 18 yrs old..I don't remember which....16 I expect.  Anyway, isn't that funny I don't remember....Anyway, she was fixing me some coffee...you know they used to do that just in play as we did at home when we pretended to tell someone's fortune...so she fixed me some coffee and I drank it and she turned the cup up side down and she told my fortune.  She said it won't be long now till  a man and woman come after you in a one horse wagon.  Well Pa and Ma didn't have a one horse wagon to my notion.  Too my knowledge.  So I didn't pay much attention to it. 

But in just a few days    I mean like 2 or 3 days, well there they were in a one horse wagon.  Come after me.  That is the funniest thing.  I never have forgotten that.  Because it just seemed like it almost made me believe in it.  Dad:  Just happened to think, about how long did this trip take in the Ox cart.  About how many days or weeks or what ever it might have been, to go from Alabama to Kansas.  GM:  I don't remember that but I remember we went through several little towns.  Terryville and some other ville and places like that.  I just don't remember how long we was gone.  Things like that didn't register with me you know.  Dad:  Was the Ox cart covered.  Covered wagon or what.  GM:  No, I don't think it was.  As I remember it, it was just an open wagon.  Dad:  Was it 2 wheel or 4 wheel.  Do you remember.  GM:  I think it was 4 wheel.  I think it was a wagon.  Dad:  2 Oxen.  GM:  I think so.  All I remember it was just an Oxen wagon.  And they used to drive an oxen wagon, they didn't use to have lines to them way to control the Oxen wagon.   They just had a whip and say get out there Buck and Jerry.  And quick cracked the whip.  They would keep them going that way you know.  They didn't have lines like they do with horses.  Dad:  Quite a system.  GM:  Aha.  Pa used to have wagons that way.  The Oxen too.  You know for a long time.  I kind of think he finally got rid of the wagon with Oxen.  And just used horses.  Dad:  That was modernizing then.  GM:  Ahem.  Yes thats right.  Getting a little more modern.
