I don’t know why my June 4 or 5 posts disappeared. I wrote about injuring my foot, we are going for a book with a girl raped and blacking out from drugs, and other posts discuss injuries, so I don’t get it.
I probably like reading partly because my father forbade the reading of fiction and tried to keep his kids from TV when I was in grade school. But it was easy to sneak books because he was always working late.

It’s hard to find this link any more. I was always reading something. My father liked TV, but my mother read a lot.

We would set up the card table and do jigsaw puzzles. There was always a puzzle going and everyone would come along and do a few pieces or sit down and do a lot. Some good conversations over puzzles.

I remember when my sister got the Beatles White album for her birthday. We only had a record player and a radio for music so it was a big deal. We played it so much that my mom probably hates the album now.

In the summer in PA, we would eat out back on the picnic table. My mother had these mini umbrella things made out of net to open and put over the food to keep the flies away. Corn on the cob was a favorite summer food.

My mother had about ten meals that she would rotate. Mainly, I set the table.

We have strawberries in our yard now. But growing up in Texas, we had only the cactus “tunas” to get by the roadside, no berries per se.

We used to find wild strawberries in this one field about 1/2 mile from my house. They were small but really sweet and were usually eaten by the time we got home. Our neighbors had a really big mulberry tree and we would have purple stains all over our feet and clothes from picking mulberries.
