In My Wildest Dreams...And More

I have written of experiences and the many changes during my 84 years of God-Given life! Today's generation cannot imaging living without electricity studying by dimly lighted oil lamps having to use out-door toilets walking miles to a two room in wintery snowy weather and making wood fires after arrival. With no means of transportation except by horse-drawn buggy or wagon evenings around the family fireplace the fire aglow popping corn in a wire popper and playing games reading and listening to adults tell stories of their by-gone days-all are precious memories to me. By only dim lamp lights and in the room of family gale we were able to get our homework done - probably an impossibility for today's generation. I hope my book reveals to this present generation and all posterity that the appreciation and values of life are learned from hard work and perseverance and that family-love and togetherness even in humble surroundings take precedence over much materialism.
