Ten years in 4-H introduced me to sewing, cooking, leathercraft, canning, knitting and travel.
My Mom had 5 kids in 7 1/2 years, the 6th was born 11 years after the youngest.
I played the bassoon in high school ~ our woodwind quintet went to State.
Went to a one-room school in first grade- grades 1st- 6th, 5 girls and 15 boys- the year President Kennedy was killed (1963).
It was a big deal when the Schwann's man came to the farm in WI once a month.
I was a varsity cheerleader for football and basketball.

The Jackson County Fair and fast-pitch softball were the highlight of my summer.
It is still a big deal when the Schwann's man comes to our home in AZ every two weeks now.
I saved the wad of gum I was chewing when I got Harmon Killabrew's autograph at a Twins game.
I save and collect... well... everything.
My name is Linda Thompson and I am an ice cream addict.
I graduated with 78 students in '75 ~ Randy graduated with 1200 in '72.
My parents met at a roller skating rink ~ married 56 years.

I think you are so adorable! you will have to give me makeup tips next time i am there..
I know Wiley and Koda appreciate you being home more... I don't think Koda could function without her translator!
Also, the Schwann's man ROCKS!! For those you who have not discovered his magical ways, you need to!
Linda-
I love the blog. And I am sorry I hurt your feelings, please know that was not my intention and know that if for some reason I had a problem with something you were doing I would bring it up directly with you. Thanks for being my second mom and holding me accontable, I know sometimes my words (like many things online) don't come accross as intended.
What's a Schwann's man?
I am also a BIG ice cream fan -- in more ways than one, unfortunately! Erin -- Air Out is my niece. Although it's been awhile, Schwanns does have good ice cream.
