Byron & Alicia are chatting away on the porch on a beautiful October afternoon. Talk turns to milk trucks & milk you had to shake. They decide fat free half n half is ethically & morally wrong. Then the butterwagon shows up & right off the bat Alicia wonders if she's getting ready to die...Their minds have moved over to seasonal things & they talk about it for a bit...you know, death & the like. The porch is bright & comfy as the talk flows.

Wyrd Mountain GalsMellow ConfessionsAirs Sunday August 27-23 7pm ESTOriginal Episode Aired Sunday, May 8 2022
Episode link here:
This conversation is a smooth mellow ride into a different a slower pace of life. For just a few minutes, the gals have an old-fashioned conversation about "homely things".
As they speak about bee equipment & the like, we learn a few things about them..
Alicia never goes to convenience stores & doesn't use the atm. Byron is still balancing her checkbook the old-fashioned way & has never used her crockpot, even though she's had it for over 30 years..
There are stories and laughter--& very little complaining. We hope this episode leaves you smiling!
