Janie Treeborne

Hey Y'all!
My name is Janie Treeborne and I live in Elberta Alabama!
I live on the edge of a peach orchard that I bought from an old friend.
Anyhow, I am an old woman now, but I have a history that I love to tell visitors, and now I can tell y'all about it.
I will also tell y'all about my town and the history of the folk from here.

Advice

  Advice Janie Treeborne Now y'all listen to this. Family is the most important thing there is and y'all should respect your family. Do as I say and not as I do. Fight for what you believe in and protect nature. I realized late that family is the most important thing there is. My Aunt Tammy and I were more alike than I cared to admit for a long time, and what I did to her will haunt me till I'm gone. Fight for what you believe in. Although I should have went about it differently, I still fought to protect The Seven. Finally, protect nature. Some may see nature as land to build on, but it can be home to others.

The Incident

The Incident Janie Treeborne There was an incident in my family that I was involved in. After Maw-Maw May died, Aunt Tammy tried to sell off timber from The Seven so she could build a house on The Seven. Of course, 13-year-old me didn't like this at all. I was what many would call a feral child. I roamed those woods, and I could map out where I was in my mind, just like Maw-Maw May could. Anyhow, I hired older kids, Lyle and Goodnight and a few others, to kidnap Aunt Tammy.  I didn't plan very well for after we kidnapped her, but if it wasn't for Aunt Tammy's dream of being a movie star, we probably would've got caught right away. Uncle Woot and many other townsfolk just assumed she ran off to Hollywood.  I was scared and still regret what I did to my aunt. One night after hiding out in the woods, I got scared and I started running away, a branch caught my eye, and that's how come I have to wear this eyepatch.

My "Junk"

My "Junk" Janie Treeborne Through the years, I have enjoyed many things. I enjoyed spending time with my Maw-Maw May, I enjoyed hearing her stories. I also loved roaming around The Seven with her. Some of my favorite things, however, many of y'all would call junk. My Grandpa Hugh called his "junk" assemblies. I loved his art, and I enjoyed finding some of his work scattered around The Seven. Anyhow, my favorite of his assemblies was a dirt boy named Crusoe. I toted him along everywhere I went in my youth. Sometimes it would seem like he'd come to life.
