More Scraping Fun

I’m ever so thankful for my scrapbook program as it’s given me something to do to keep active and I’m really enjoying what few scans I do have. I have a lot more scanning to do when I get back to mom’s house! I’ve been working on a couple more scraps this afternoon and this evening and thought I’d share what I’ve been up to.

My Tom-Boy Days

That picture was taken the year I was in the 7th grade living on a hundred acre farm. I did everything with my brothers that year from digging fresh worms in the backyard and fishing in 4 ponds on the property and if we brought home enough fish, the fish fry was on for the night, helped care for 22,000 – that’s twenty two thousand chickens – we raised them for layers and when they got big enough to lay eggs we would gather eggs and clean eggs every day after school, there were only 75 roosters in the whole batch and we got to keep them. We moved those roosters to a little chicken coop behind the house and kept them separated from the hens. When the roosters got big enough for some really good eatin’, my brothers and I helped with the cleaning of them including plucking feathers, and helped to make them freezer ready… I played in so many barns on the property and in and out of hay lofts was a ton of fun, worked in a very large garden, helped mom can fresh veggies from the garden, made fig preserves from our huge tree in the yard and on and on…
