Saturday and Teacakes
By Lester Laminack
When I was nine or ten years old I couldn't wait for Saturdays.
Every Saturday, I got up early, dressed, and rolled my bicycle out of the garage.
Ever Saturday I coasted down our long steep drive, slowing only enough to make the turn onto
Thompson Street, then left onto Bells Mill Road.
Pedal, pedal, pedal, past Mrs. Cofield's house.

Mr. White's. I always stopped there to catch my breath in the shade of the old oak tree.
One more small hill, pedal, pedal, pedal, and then a right onto Gaither Street. Now I could see my
grandmother's drive.
One . . .
two . . .
three . . .
four driveways and one last turn to the left. This was where my tires gave up their humming on
pavement and began the crunching of gravel. Just before reaching Mammaw's back porch, I slammed on my
brakes, sending a s
