I was raised on a farm. My early memories were waking up to the smell of bacon and the sound of my mother in the kitchen humming a gospel tune as she made biscuits and gravy and scrambled the eggs. After breakfast, my dad and brothers went to work and I helped mother with the clean up and then went outside to play. Not once did she ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" She just let me grow up.....

This book is about that sweet time of playing, working, learning and growing up within the warm nest of my loving family on an 80 acre farm in Oklahoma. We were poor but I never knew it. We had everything we needed.
