I remember as a child, yelling at my older brother and sister, “You’re not my boss!” Actually, my sister was my boss; I hung on her every word. She told me what to do and what not to do – how to behave and what not to say. That was the most difficult for me, […]
I love this picture of my mom (92 when the picture was taken) brother, sister and her husband, and me. The technology bug has bitten us all. When did you get your first computer/laptop/iPad? When I visited my sister in San Antonio in 1966, her husband worked at Lackland Air Force Base. He came home […]
Birthdays were big when I was growing up. No, we didn’t have parties with ponies or clowns or lots of friends—it was just Mom, Daddy, and the four kids. What we did have was a birthday cake specially made and decorated by Mom. Mom was always baking cakes and other desserts, but our birthday cakes […]
I had planned to write on a different prompt today until I saw this picture my cousin posted on Facebook of him and his grandson. I have to sadly admit to the fact that I still have no grandchildren (another topic); however, I had grandparents and this picture captures the epitome of what I think […]
When I was a student in Home Economics class in the 60s, I learned the pyramid of healthy eating. Growing up on a farm, I knew we had a somewhat balanced diet. We consumed lots of homemade bread, ate fruit from the orchard and vegetables fresh from the garden. We ate beef, ham/pork and chicken […]
I saw school as fun and exciting and couldn’t wait to get there every morning. Many special teachers crossed my path from elementary through high school. Mrs. Baynes, my seventh and eighth grade Latin and Ancient History teacher, intertwined the two subjects and made that entire historical time frame come alive—Julius Caesar, the Apian Way, […]
When I was a child, sports didn’t have much of an impact in our home. Too busy with farm work for our parents to drive us back into town for practices or games. My husband introduced me to the world of sports—all kinds of sports—anything that involved a round or oval sphere of leather. Our […]
When I was a child in the 50s and 60s, we celebrated Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on February 12th and George Washington’s birthday on February 22nd. Starting in first grade, we studied these two great leaders in depth and what they did for America. Both days were seen as holidays, but we still went to school. […]
To make the prettiest valentine box ever seemed to be my goal every year in grade school. Using colored tissue paper, construction paper, and, sometimes, newspaper gave me so much material for my creative mind. I folded red construction paper and cut out hearts to paste on the box. However, it never failed that by […]
Super Bowl LII has come and gone. And what a game it was! Even I was cheering for the Eagles. As I was growing up, football was not an item in our home. When I reached high school, football became a social event. My parents left me off at the school with $1.00 and a […]
