Maybe you are shy about saving your own stories. If so, interview a relative and save one of their stories.
Today I’m sharing one of my dad’s stories called Broken Cookies.
The coming holidays are a great time to share and SAVE Family stories.
Set up a cell phone and record a few. You’ll be glad you did.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

True stories my father told were a gift to the family. Today I’m reading one of my favorites.
I also fictionalized this story, along with many others, in my novel CHICKEN CHARLIE’S YEAR, which can be found for sale on Amazon.

I’m so happy I saved this story my dad told in 1990. It is not one in his handwritten collection. It is perfect to share today, Halloween Eve.
It was Dad’s last visit to our Wisconsin home. The following May Dad passed away.
I hope you enjoy this column and that it encourages you to save some of your family stories.

My dad loved his little sister, but he had issues with her when they were young.
I can see the boy Charlie being embarrassed by his sister.
Also, taking care of her as a baby wasn’t high on his to-do list, but if Mama said to take care of Lee, Charlie did it, if not exactly how their mother expected.
I hope you enjoyed this story from my dad.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
