Saving family stories — lesson 2

Maybe an idea about a pet popped into your thoughts today. That story could be the second one you save.

Doing this lesson helped me save one of my many dog stories today.

I hope you like the one I shared.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Carts on the farm

I caught Dave and my granddaughter driving my two carts over the weekend.

Many other family members also drove these carts, along with mini bikes and go-carts, but this was the only video I caught.

All had fun at Camp Manzke.

Perfect for Halloween

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.

A little bit of a big project

My sons fixed the upper deck railings on my house yesterday.

I did a lot of watching and some fetching when needed.

These two worked so well together. I’m very proud of them. I guess Bob and I did a good job raising them–and their sisters, too.

Kitten goes wild for toy

Three of my grandchildren played with my kitten/cats. All had a wonderful time.

Little Spitz would have played with the colorful toy the kids offered him all day. The time came for us to go outside and only then did Spitz stop and take a nap.

Spitz is a whirlwind.
