This is the story of my life, beginning with my youth on a farm in the Missouri Ozarks. This is an ongoing project to preserve memories of that life, primarily for the family, but for anyone who might be interested. Our farm had no running water, indoor plumbing, or electricity. The way we did things was in many ways similar to farms of an earlier era, and therefore perhaps provides a glimpse into the American past.
This will be a work in progress; I will add to it as I have time to write, and I will add pictures as time permits. If you are interested, keep checking back.
