I did my reading of Spencer's Mountain, Readers Digest Condensed books and Janice Holt Giles outdoors. I also re-read her still. PS: tomatoes are just starting to ripen in Iowa.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526258792227541799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-28330423720885614002016-07-22T17:46:00.688-04:002016-07-22T17:46:00.688-04:00Thank you, Joy.

There was a lot of worry in our house at different times, but I always felt loved and wanted. We were fortunate to live in a small town older neighborhood where it was safe and where, as on Cheers, everybody knew our names--and usually what we were up to!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-9027224085675950322016-07-22T14:38:56.832-04:002016-07-22T14:38:56.832-04:00The best memories.

Tomatoes bring back so many memories for me. Maybe that's why they're such a favorite food. Your closet sounds like an ideal place for a girl to daydream. Such days those were.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-56502812063402989322016-07-22T08:33:26.916-04:002016-07-22T08:33:26.916-04:00Oh I remembet those hot days and the taste of a to...Oh I remembet those hot days and the taste of a tomato straight from the garden. A little viney taste even went a long way. I needed the salt shaker with the tomato! No attic for me but I had a walk in closet off my bedroom. It must have been put in after the house because it had big long windows that overlooked the back yard and orchard. It was my favorite place in the world. I remember sitting in there with my back to the wall looking outside and daydreaming. Oh those lazy days of summer when we were kids. Love the pic of the house and you as a little girl. <br />B.
