I can imagine it, a little, because my dad was a cat and grader operator as well and we followed him on the jobs a lot. that kittie in the picture with you is almost as big as you? So cute.<br />i read your apple blossoms post. i really love that song by the Andrew Sisters. Do you remember the one Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree With Anyone Else But Me? i love that one too and find myself humming it whenever I see an appletree in bloom.<br />HugsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279967856116509542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-58677112005057396082010-05-20T09:11:40.787-06:002010-05-20T09:11:40.787-06:00I wish that I had such vivid memories..

But I was never cold. My dad got up before everyone else and made the fire in the old cold stove so it would warm the house for us. Did you ever take hot irons wrapped in rags to bed? Sometimes Mama would make those to warm us up and they would scorch through the fabric. Still I don't think I ever was cold. I'll have to post some pictures on my blog for you to look at. I think it's fun that our lives were so parallel. I really enjoy 'talking' to you. You do such a good job here.mudderbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537045078065798116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-5022026158943994122010-05-20T00:27:11.194-06:002010-05-20T00:27:11.194-06:00That picture of your parents is very touching - so...That picture of your parents is very touching - so young to have been through war and to have two young children to feed and clothe.

That looked like a hard job for your parents at the logging camp. But--they obviously worked hard and did what they need to do to provide for you sweet little girls.<br /><br />Great story... I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks!!!<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
