About gDonna The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.
Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle. Convenience stores were not common and when we took a trip we packed a picnic basket because many places did not have fast food. Highways had places to pull over and stop, some with picnic tables.

Hello~
"Back garage"!!!!! I am still chuckling over that! I am very sure she never thought her diary would be read by so many when she wrote that. But I think we can all commiserate with her being so uncomfortable. " She is a trip", indeed! :-P
Hope you had a productive time at the tiny house.
Take care,
Darlene from Ohio

I had no idea what she meant by piles. I googled it. Ew! I could have gone all day without reading that! Ha ha!
Our garden did very little this year. First it was too wet to till. Then too late to plant. Then too hot and dry. We did try to garden in 5 gallon buckets, but it's a very good thing we don't have to depend on our garden to eat!
I hope you have a lovely weekend. We have our first cool day here in Southwest Missouri. My daughter is marrying a very nice young Christian man in Illinois Saturday, so we'll be traveling this weekend.
I'm so looking forward to a good fall cleaning then bringing folks in to visit this fall. I'm also going to go back to substitute teaching after a short break. We've found that, although I'm away from home more than I want to be, it helps to have some extra money for the big surprises in life.
May God bless you and keep you. May He make his face to shine upon you and bring you peace.
Laura
