In the past I have been encouraged to write a book about my life, I want to see what your opinions might be...
I was born in 1930 in Iowa. We were poor people but managed to survive. I was the 5th child with 5 younger. We moved around a lot, wherever my dad could find work is where we would go. I went to eight schools through the 6th grade, 3 of those years at one school. All but one where one room schoolhouses. When I was 10 my Aunt asked my mom if I could move in with her and clean her house. and she would see that I would go to school. Sometimes I would walk a mile and a half to go to school, sometimes I would get to ride a horse. When I started my 6th grade year, my teacher was only 19 year old. She didn't know how to include me with the twin girls in my class so I would leave to find my own entertainment. Many trips to the outdoor toilet or laying in the grass looking at the sky. I spent a lot of time in the dictionary, I can remember trying to find all the bad words.
This is just a little bit for now, talk to you soon.
OH G-lo your life sounds so interesting! I would love to hear more about it!!
