Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of stories that my wife Ida told me about events in her lifetime. We did not have her on a recording, but rather I would write down notes of what she told me and then I would enter that bit into the computer. This book is a collection of those little stories in which I tried to use her words and expressions using the local dialect. Because we have never met our grandson in person, we decided that if we put our memoirs in a book he would be able to have a feeling of connection to his grandparents. Hopefully by reading this book our grandson will appreciate the love his grandmother had for him. Ida was a very special lady who spent her lifetime serving others and sometimes doing without things she wanted or needed for herself. She was a perfect "mother person." Ida did not win any famous prizes; was not in the public eye, her name was not on any plaque or in the records of any organization so there is no public notice for her. Hopefully by doing this book, Ida will be remembered. Hopefully this book will preserve memories of Ida for her friends and relatives to enjoy for years to come.
