He was 50 when my dad was born and 83 when I came along. He never talked about his childhood - at least to me. I WISH I'd been smart enough to have asked him about his family and growing up. About all I know is that he rode the train from Ohio to Oklahoma to go to work in the oil fields. And I know that it was before statehood. I wish I knew more. On another not, my grandmother (on the other side of the family) had pear trees on her land. We'd pick those pears and wrap them in newspaper, put them in cardboard boxes and they went under our bed until we were ready for some of the delicious fruit. Ahhh - memories.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-48489277406646587812011-05-11T19:35:09.942-05:002011-05-11T19:35:09.942-05:00Oh I can relate to your memories with a neighbor n...Oh I can relate to your memories with a neighbor named Mame. She would sit in her wheelchair and "tinkle my arm" so softly while she told me stories of her life. I sat memorized taking it all in. I do remember a few of her stories.<br /><br />I think you little gift is such a lovely thing. The color and crackle are amazing.
