A picture of me.....


Here is a picture of me along with my brothers and sisters. I'm on the right and going left, Fritzie, Bud, Jackie with Stanley, Alice Jane. The structure to the left of us is the old well. There was a pulley under the roof of the well and over it was a rope with a bucket at each end. You would let one bucket into the well and the other would come up. Bring up a bucket of water and the next bucket was going down, ready to bring up a second bucket of water. It was good, cold water. The house is at the far left, barely seen. Behind the well and Jane is the storeroom, where we stored a lot of stuff. Just to the right of me are jasmines. How wonderful they were in the sunmmer, with hummingbirds on them. Despite great changes, a lot of earth removed to make the new road, some of the jasmines still grow and bloom. Those were the good old days.....
