| I love to read True Stories !! |
I grew up in the days before
TV and electronic gadgets. (The olden days say my kids.)
At home we did have a radio
and always enjoyed the radio shows. Some
were daily and others were once a week.
I would run home from school to listen to Little Orphan Annie, Jack
Armstrong and other favorites.
Twice a year we visited my
grandparents, and there was less to play with at their home.
Grandma did have a few books,
but not near enough for me. I was used
to visiting the library and checking out 5 at a time. I brought my own puzzle and color books from
home, and we did have an orchard to explore and climb trees. Grandma didn’t even have a cat or dog for us
to play with. The only animals were chickens in a coop and I could help gather
the eggs. One wonderful thing that
Grandma did was to make us real biscuits for breakfast and she also made us
sugar cookies. Yum.
When Grandpa irrigated his
orchard, we were allowed to get wet in the weir that collected the water before
it went to the orchard.

| Old Fashioned Stereoscopes |
For entertainment my grandma
had one of those Stereoscopes you look through and you
would see 3D with two identical photos you would place at the end of the
scope. That was a part of our world on
our twice a year visit to Grandma and Grandpa’s ranch.

I remember living with my grandmother - going to the library and check out a stack of books, too! It was a quieter living - a more savory living, I think:)
My best memories were as a little girl visiting my grandparents on their farm. I loved the cows in the pastures, swimming in their ponds, running all over their land with my siblings and cousins, playing in the barn. My grandmother also made the best bisquits and gravy and sugar cookies...I sure miss her! Such good times:)
