How quickly the "new-nest" wears off and reality sets in. I am positive your creativity was there from the very beginning and you were eager to show it off and learn as well. Love your stories!
Smiles, Carol

Oh Beth, what a classic! I hope your artistic endeavours were welcomed in the future - on a more suitable surface of course. Loved this story of your early days.

This is very well written about your life as you were very young and your parents caring for you. I enjoyed listening to it. I also enjoyed listening to the fact that you were dealing with a family that was in the middle of the depression and it was things were hard. I wish you the very best with all of your writing and I also wish you a very good week. Patric.

    Thank you Patricia. I guess we weren't very well off but we didn't know we weren't. At least, I didn't.

You're lucky you only had the two spankings. She might've given you a third after cleaning the wall just for her aggravation.
Yes, I believe that birth order is a huge factor - depending on whether there are long gaps between.
Best wishes.

You have a phenomenal memory from a very young age! This piece is so interesting because the period in which it occurred clearly shows through. And it feels like it was just a completely different world. These are very valuable memories to pass on to your next generations. Very nicely written!

    Thank you Julie, Yes, it was a different world back then. Looking back it seem primitive, but back it seemed normal. People who lived in town had more conveniences. It took a while for electricity to come to the outskirts of town.
