I remember the excitement around the event and the disappointment when I realized there wouldn't be anymore typewriter lids under the Christmas tree by an older brother who was optimistic about goodies from Santa. However it was fun to think about Velna becoming part of our family - although I don't think I understood how that worked, either. Happy Anniversary. <br />Grandma's lye soap? Now I know we are talking about another life!

You did leave out the fact that I was singing "Do you remember Grandma's Lye Soap, Good for Everything in the home, it doesn't suds, it doesn't foam, so let's sing out for Grandma's lye soap," etc. It ran through my head during the temple ceremony, unfortunately. Those were the days. And a Greyhound bus ride back to Laramie whereupon I changed my clothes and headed for the five-story Roach building to sweep up the cinders and life has never been the same since. Amazing life.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174492647465668322noreply@blogger.com
