A little spring cleaning

This spring cleaning job took place in 1990. I wrote about these happenings in my April column that year.

My spring cleaning isn’t so adventurous any longer. I’m lucky if I wash a few windows.

When the weather is warmer, I intend to spend my time outside, enjoying the sunshine.

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

Wallpapering column

This column was written in April 1990. It tells why I won’t be wallpapering ever again.

I wonder if Rob remembers this chore I drafted him into when he was 15.

With both feet

Here’s a 1990 column about home repairs. This time it was my project and not Bob’s

I remember some of the work done in our house. Mostly I remember being tired after working hard.

A hair-raising experience

This 1990 column involves big sister, Rebecca (Becky) and little sister Rachel.

It’s a good thing I wrote this down or I wouldn’t have remembered it.

Rachel says she remembers this disaster that happened when she was seven.

Saving family stories is a special thing to do for yourself and your family.

Charity and love and crazy kids

It was 1990. Our house was filled with children. Charity and love didn’t always prevail.

Giggling in a church isn’t just for children. Adults do it too, sometimes.

I hope you enjoy the retelling of this column

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