reminiscing

1959

I had been working on cleaning up clutter. I had to laugh at myself, since I was eight years old at the time. This gives you an idea of what was important to me. I am actually surprised that I still have this in my possession. I was not an artsy crafty girl, and the only time in my young years, that I took time to do something like this. It is a fact that I really loved watching tap dancers. Maybe I thought that the Mouseketeer’s were the luckiest kids on the block. I’m sure that I read Black Beauty. I continue to believe that horses are magnificent. Pets are a must in a home, and watching the Nelson family made an impression on me. And above all I am grateful to those that took my sister and I to church, and to vacation Bible school, during the summer months. While a little girl, in a tiny Pentacostal church, I loved the songs and learning about Jesus. It’s taken me years to truly comprehend the magnitude of His love for me, and all of humanity.
