Perhaps your family it was a way of teaching you self reliance and strength of character. Like your Auntie you rose to the occasion for trust was placed on you to do the right thing and it seems it worked. Here in this generation we do not teach our children well and give them a chance to practice while they are still under our wings like your father waiting in the background. Unfortunately bad things occur far to frequently in our society. <br /><br />Beautiful photo by the way, I love that blue building and the blue to the tree branches<br /><br />joannyjoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338150531816845279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-64451144144600450652011-02-20T10:52:34.014-05:002011-02-20T10:52:34.014-05:00Hi Pet,

Maybe in another post? :)<br /><br />Hi Sarah,<br />In those days, it was a real problem to obtain almost any item. Perhaps I could make a separate post about this.
