I know. They never had much money, and certainly not too many material goods, or new cars....they had land, and cattle, then later in their lives they traded cattle for apples and other fruit. From a kids eyes though, I didn't think of them not having money or goods....I thought they had wonders for me to explore...cats to play with, wagon to drag stuff across their large yard while we played house and moving day, tons of old Time and Life magazines to read, and a whole little library in a closet with the door off, that had great books like 5 Little Peppers and How They Grew; Little Women, etc.....Plus BOXES filled with neatly filed postcards from all over the world that friends and relatives had sent them over the years. Theirs was indeed a treasure house. Kids don't notice "money" things.....they notice things like great toast made on the old coal stove, or homemade bread with homemade butter ... <smiles>
