Grandma and Grandpa created a huge family. Many of us grew up together, meeting at that tiny house every Sunday morning after Sunday school. Others lived far away, but your visits were greatly anticipated and enjoyed. We are spread across the country now, living our lives, raising our own children, some of us enjoying grandchildren. We are all different, but we come from the same roots.
This would be the house that mom moved into after marrying Jack. He was gone alot because he was truckin. Starkweather and Fugate killed some people just a few miles away. Mom moved to town then until Jack could get home. She'd lived in fear so much that she wasn't sleeping. Each night the radio news was about the killings and how they couldn't find them. She was afraid they'd come to our house. I think I was about 1-2 years old. My parents divorced when I was 1 and mom remarried about 6 months later. Now I know why that shape of the bird bath still interests me. Oh and mom had hair down to her waist then and pulled it up into a knot or ponytail.
