My mom, at the age of 10 was sent to cook for her father and brothers when they went haying. 10! she was describing the little wood stove she used. "It had the littlest oven! I could only fit in one pie at a time!" She was baking for a crew. By herself. At the age of 10! You notice in my story that I merely EAT the pie. :)Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-89100618098647951082014-04-03T07:08:19.063-06:002014-04-03T07:08:19.063-06:00A sweet little town!A sweet little town!Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-44665702907702349312014-04-02T23:01:53.314-06:002014-04-02T23:01:53.314-06:00Five children left alone on a ranch filled with ra...Five children left alone on a ranch filled with rattlesnakes. Left alone on purpose. That would be illegal these days. Yet such a learning curve for all of you and a major step towards independence.

A rattlesnake coiled up on the path in front of him and he leapt, probably six feet in the air and never broke his stride. He cleared that snake and kept on going.George Stringamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375285536941813368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-50417972626967364442014-04-02T18:03:25.953-06:002014-04-02T18:03:25.953-06:00I always look forward your stories +Diane TolleyI always look forward your stories +Diane TolleyRenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-42455579663849864292014-04-02T10:57:31.691-06:002014-04-02T10:57:31.691-06:00Talk about a lesson in responsibility.Talk about a lesson in responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-3902583935353173172014-04-02T10:42:36.529-06:002014-04-02T10:42:36.529-06:00You were a capable lot considering your ages!
