Favorite Memories
Some of my favorite memories were camping in the summer.
We often went up to Palisade Reservoir, where we camped in a tent and spent the
week-end skiing and fishing. Our summers were spent up at the Dry farm,
where we lived in a Railroad Box car that my parents converted into a cozy
home. I have lots of fond memories spending the summers there. There was
lots of work to do, but we would go for rides to get watercress, explore a new
area, or just climb a mountain to take in the vista. We also rode horses
a lot at the dry farm, which I enjoyed doing. In the evenings, my parents would
light the kerosene lamps and we would play cards or read.
Family Traditions
We went to Green Canyon Hot Springs to swim on Easter week-end
nearly every year and to have a picnic with Glen and Rita Clark and their
family or Wayne and Virginia Jackson. If it was too rainy or cold to go, Mom
would spread a blanket on our living room floor and we would have an indoor
picnic. My mom would make lots of candy for Christmas - she made
divinity, fudge, chocolate covered nuts and hand-pulled taffy, which we loved
helping her make. We went down to Grandma Ethel and Grandpa Warren's home often
for Sunday Dinners.
