Morning Al,
my mom never knew where I was and I'm pretty sure she didn't care as long as was back in time to get my chores done.

I was a “come home when the streetlights come on” kid. And if I didn’t get home soon enough after that, Mom would stick her head out the back door and yell.

Streetlights ? What were they. Left the house in the morning after breakfast with lunch in a sack, home for supper, and then back out until dusk. Life was free range for sure.

I was a poor kid but I had rich friends. Their moms always kept me fed & sometimes even clothed. I owe a lot to those woman.

I grew up a city girl, but have always been a farm girl at heart. I knew before I was 5 that I wanted to marry a farmer. Figured out which one when I had a crush on him when I was 12, started dating him when I was 15, and married him when I was 18.

I just ran wild .Remember when dark was dark .No city lights even the distance. I could almost be a cave hermit
