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.
