remember when we use to say, no mam, yes mam, no sir, yes sir, thank you mam, thank you sir. reminds me of something that happened to me when i was 10. had hung around my older cousins and had gotten a little cocky. my dad had come to school to pick us up one evening because of bad weather. on the way back home, we passed a neighbor, mr mayo who was going to pick up his kids. being cocky as i was, i throwed up my hand and said to my dad, there is old man mayo. about that time i felt the backside of a big hand across my lips and the words, boy, that is mr mayo to you. that happened in 1952 and it is still fresh in my mind. what has happened to this younger generation?

... we also played kick the can. we also played one called pocketbook. we laid a womans pocketbook in the road and tied a long string to it. we hid over the bank and when someone stopped to pick it up and look in it for money, we would jerk it across the road and stand up and laugh. guess that was a little mean, but after all we were 14 and 15 year old mischievous kids. at least we weren't breaking into houses, stealing, or fooling with dope.

I remember those things and a few more. I remember the first thing I was taught to sew on the ole' treadle sewing machine. An apron that I cut out without a pattern. I was five. I learned what pride in a good job was that day. And at 77 I still say yes mam and no mam. I even giggle at times about that one.

Oh, yes! We didn't have fancy bats, gloves and baseballs. There was no Little League or any other organized group. When we played kick the can it was in the street. Roller skates fit over sturdy shoes and we had skate keys to tighten the grips on the skates. I usually had a skinned knee, maybe 2. But I never broke anything. Even when I climbed the trees like the boys. When we played fort, they let me in, I brought the Kool Aid, with the little 4 oz. cheese jars that were drinking glasses when empty. No disposable plastic or paper ones. Where we lived there were lots of vacant lots, including some where wild mushrooms grew after the rain. We enjoyed picking and eating them. Can't do that now.

I lived on a 7 acre farm in CA where there are all houses now. We had 2 alfalfa fields and 1 hay field, a fruit orchard, 4 cows for milking, pigs for meat, chickens for eggs and meat, and rabbits for meat and to sell fur. Dad had a big garden area for veggies. We had a roadside stand, sold corn, berries, flowers, etc. besides the eggs, milk/cream, fryers (chickens/rabbits) and stewing hens. We had our own water supply, tank and pump house. A nice size barn. I used to sit on the top of the corral fence and sing "Don't Fence Me In" to the cows. I sang to the rabbits and chickens as I fed them morning and night. Those songs depended on the weather, season, holiday.
I walked a few miles to/from school on country roads with no sidewalks so rain was messy tho' we wanted it for the crops.
Dad was a Colorado country boy. He worked full time for Texaco and took care of the farm too. Mom was a teacher. Her family had a big garden and chickens. She and I did canning all summer. We all fished: ocean, lake, river, stream. I'd take books.

...continued. going out in the yard at night and smelling a fresh cut hayfield, getting up at morning in the winter and running to the living room to get beside the ole warm morning coal stove to get warm, gathering up apples and walnuts in the fall to have to eat in the winter, going to the outhouse and using pages from a sears and roebuck catalouge to wipe with, sleeping 5 and 6 kids in the bed on weekends when we had company, the ole featherticks, drinking a glass of good cold buttermilk freshly churned, my first chew of tobacco. what a big mistake. first time i rode a horse, another mistake. shucking corn 5 and 6 hours at a time to put in the crib to feed to the cows and horses thru the winter. knowing i had clothes to wear, food to eat, a bed to sleep in. didn't have a care or worry in the world. life was so great back then. to be continued.

Life was hard. But we played hard to. Grandma played a zither (sp). grandpa a fiddle, Uncle Kelly a getar,(guitar), Uncle Bill the wash board and wash tub, Frank the Harmonica, Dillard the juice harp, and anyone who could play just jumped right in the middle. They would finish the chores and load up in the wagon and head to the largest house in the area and have a hoe down all night long. Head home in the morning and take care of stock and go right back for a big cook out and preaching under a tree. I usually slept on the bed with all the coats and Mom and & Dad danced every dance. It sure was fun and I went to sleep with music and woke up to it to..... Too bad it had to stop. Age got to most and broke city the rest. They had to go out and find work. In the Oil field mainly.

Kids used to tell dirty jokes but I didn't want to hear them. Living on a farm meant seeing the animals "do it". I figured married folks do it or we wouldn't have new babies. I thought I'd figure it out when the time came. School had health classes which didn't tell more than body parts. I never thought anything normal was dirty. Unfortunately my husband became an alcoholic. That eventually was unbearable. Then how do you start dating again? But I never remarried. I do have lots of friends. Some from school days. We like to talk about how things changed. Fun.

Did you cry when Fats came out with "Valley of tears" because the rumor was going around that he was dying?
Do you remember how he was never very popular after that because we all felt cheated when he didn't?
