Moonshine

I just know you thought I was going to tell you a story about back hills, stills and revenuers catching up with someone in my family! Perhaps that was true, but I've never been told a story like that! However, my mother's cousin, Lena Noble, did make elderberry wine on occasion for medicinal purposes only, mind you! Lena is Auntie Bean's daughter and she always made this wine and kept it in the cellar. One never knew when one would need a sip for something that ailed you. My mother's brother, Jim and a friend, Glen Heater, knew abo\lt this stuff and decided to help themselves to it without permission. They sneaked in through the basement window and proceeded to have a grand time! When they got caught. Lena was furious with her cousin, but I'm not sure she ever told on them because, after all, it was a secret.
