missing meme

• I have been missing out here
• writing some of the things
• we did in the old days and
• not even that far in time ago--LOL
• I like remembering == how it was,,,,,
• but I also remember how hard it was
• and I feel we are indeed blessed
• to be where we are today
• ----------
• I miss mama and I am glad that she
• did get a new house with running water
• and electricity and all the things
• that I now take for granted
• and all in doors- (smile)
• she did not get the house until later
• in her life but she so enjoyed
• it and yes, she missed some of the old ways
• but was thankful for her new ways
• some times the old days sound romantic
• but there is nothing romantic about
• sitting up all night beside the heater
• to keep the home fires going
• and making sure that there is no
• chimney fire and your nest and
• family are safe......
• mama did this often in the winter
• and then had to sleep during the day
• ------but mama was a homesteader-
• and that was just one of the ways
• of the way it was....
• thank God that we now have furnaces
• that keep us warm and we can sleep
• at night,,,
• warm hugs from Meme
