She told her grandchildren about things that happened to her as she grew up. They loved hearing her stories. After church we always had a group of kids from church come home with us for dinner. She enjoyed those times. In the summer Mom and Dad would always had nieces and nephews for a few days in the summer. She became very close to them and she enjoyed cooking for them. We all worked together on the farm, feeding livestock, raising the garden. She canned made crafts, Dad did wooding, and that was something they all enjoyed. After a day of working on the farm, sometimes after Dad worked in the mines we worked in the garden. Then we would all go to the river and swim. They made many memories with their children and grandchildren.
