They farmed and all lived in houses along the property in a big arc. All the kids (many many) ran wild between the houses. I think the sence of "family" fell apart in this country with all the ease of travel and the loss of the front porch!Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-979928314922000452012-11-18T18:35:32.049-06:002012-11-18T18:35:32.049-06:00Aimee - Oh, please do write down those stories of ...Aimee - Oh, please do write down those stories of your grandpa's that you can remember. In this day and age (of families being scattered all across the nation . . . and the world!), so much of our families' history is being lost.

I have great memories of him telling his stories and laughing till tears were streaming down his cheeks (and ours too!). He died earlier this year and I think I'll always wonder what wonderful stories he never got around to telling. <br />Thanks for sharing your "back stories" mama pea!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-52125695206146896382012-11-17T19:01:52.080-06:002012-11-17T19:01:52.080-06:00Sparkless - That settles it!

(Ha-ha-ha-ha!) And your Uncle M wouldn't have related to Harker's Body Shop because he's never heard of it. Your Uncle J didn't know the particulars of the story because it was a "thing" that the women of the family perpetuated (mostly, I think). Clear as mud?

Is Brother Pea Uncle J or Uncle M? Technically, he should be Uncle M (bearer of the Pea family name), but methinks he's Uncle J. In which case he should be . . . brother . . . uhhh . . . QUICK!
