Ol' Flint of the Flint Hills

This here's my friend Ol' Flint.  You kin tell by lookin' at Ol' Flint, he ain't one of thim fancy fellas.
Ol' Flint has had the same winter coat 'n hat for the past sixteen years and whin he loozes a button 'er a fastner breaks,
he jist makes another 'n out 'n a piece of wood 'r sumthin'.
And he ain't got no hair cut since the nights started gettin' cool
An I don't know as I ever knowed him to shave.
Yissir, Ol' Flint is tough an hardened to the demands made on him.
Jest like a flint stone, and that's wher he got his name.
He's a man you can count on and jest as steady as a rock.
He's not skeered of nothin'.
Even in the early day, when you could hear hungry wolves howlin' on a cold winter night,
it didn't skeer Ol' Flint none.
Now Ol' Flint ain't quite the man he uster be, you can tell by his wrinkles an the bags under his eyes.
But he's a good helpin' hand and a good man "to ride the river by".
A friend,
Cottonwood Perkins

Basswood Caricatures

Firecrackers  

These hand-carved firecrackers are usually used as decor for the 4th of July. However, some have been known to use them for that special birthday of showing, perhaps, an older age than you want to be. Notice the wicks!  They look like they have a lighted fuse to demonstrate that they are ready to go off at any time.
Thus, the expression of the face.
