Memories
Where I was born
May 2, 1946
I came into the world in a small brick house on Maple Street, the youngest of four.
The day I started school
September 1952
Mama walked me to the schoolhouse and I cried, then made a best friend by lunch.
How I met your grandmother
June 1968
We met at a church dance. She stepped on my foot, and I never let her forget it.
Our wedding day
April 18, 1970
We married in the spring with lilacs everywhere and forty dollars to our name.
The year your mother was born
November 3, 1974
The happiest morning of my life. I held her and forgot to breathe.
Moving to the farm
1988
We packed everything we owned into one truck and started over.
A recipe I never wrote down
Sunday gravy: you start it early, and you do not rush it. That is the whole secret.
Well wishes
