The younger family members don't take over the business as much and the elderly just can't keep it up.Carlettahttp://carlettascaptures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-42384601396442788692010-06-13T23:30:38.054-04:002010-06-13T23:30:38.054-04:00Hi Rose, I love posts like this when you share m...Hi Rose, I love posts like this when you share more of your childhood.

I am guilty too. <br />It is funny the different things we remember about our childhood I had a happy childhood even if things weren't so great. but I didn't know. <br />You have warm memories too. <br /><br />PS. I love it when the skies get so dark yet the sun is shining on one side. The sky is so fascinating.

I like hearing about your dad getting the lumber and building the house and you helping.

There were 8 of us, and we all agree about our childhood and our mom...not that it was all horrible, but it was not ideal by any means and definitely not at all normal.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-3733168908169047502010-06-13T06:50:31.371-04:002010-06-13T06:50:31.371-04:00It's funny what we remember from childhood.

My sister and I remember way back when so differently. My childhood was happy, hers was not - yet we were only 17 months apart in age and she was the kid with a zillion friends and I was the one always reading a book.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.com
