Subject[of]reality

I recently took my annual trip to one of my favorite parts of this planet, Long Lake in Hubbard County, MN.  There I met up with my friend Emma who had grown up around that area who introduced me to some of her family.  I had two conversations, and this is the first of them.  This is the conversation with Emma's grandma Edith who she affectionately refers to as "Grandma Pike." Edith is in her nineties, had grown up in the area, and reflects on a true rural Minnesotan upbringing.
