sharing begins

I have entered the blogging world !!!!  I wanted to share stories from my past for my grandchildren to read and remember.  My life was full of love and disappointments, faith and fun.  No matter what happened in my life God was with me every step of the way. I will try to post at least once a week but don't hold me to that.  Here we go.....  The earliest memory I have was when I was about 3.  My mom had waist length hair and my sister and I would stand on the bed and brush her hair.  She would go out on a date in a black sequined dress.  We had 2 older ladies who would babysit us. Mrs. Kreinhedder took care of me during the day and she introduced me to Sanka coffee and cottage cheese with sugar on it.  I remember her putting coal in her furnace and I also remember the alley pit she put her trash in.  I played with her next door neighbor who was mentally handicapped.  She had a huge metal doll house which I loved.  My other babysitter was Mrs. Kottenburger.  She lived down the street.  Mom, my sister (who was 2 1/2 years older than me) and I did a lot of fun things for Christmas gifts.  I remember especially the snow globes.  One year for Halloween we bought a giant pumpkin---over 2 feet tall.  I think we ate pumpkin pies for a year.  I will stop writing now and write more later.  mom
