Home

Describe your childhood home:


Next on the prompts in sharing my life story.

There is a rumor when Dad and Mom bought  their home near Blooming  Prairie MN they were celebrating 14 years of marriage and had lived in 14 different homes.

Since I am the oldest child I also shared this merry go round. To travel so much in the 60's seems unusual.  There will be an attempt now to create a time-line of these moves. 

First of all I will be quick to say these weren't  moving all household items. Sometimes we packed our suitcases with our clothes and house sat for another family.

1960 - 1961 Fort Wayne IN
1961 - 1963 Graceton  MN
1963 - 1964 Fortuna ND and Grenora ND
1964 - 1966 Graceton  MN
1966  Goshen IN and Plain City OH
1967 - 1973 Graceton MN
1973  October - December  
British Columbia Canada 
1974  January - May 
Cazenovia WI 
1974  Moved to Blooming Prairie MN in May 

This is also the time where I feel like I need to ask questions about those early years. I have pictures to look at and memories stored in my brain. 

I realize that some of these stores are already written and are hiding in my blog. I'll  see what can be done to bring them to the surface  -- right after I talk to someone who can help me.

A very old cliché says --
Home is where the ❤️ is.
