Chapter 58
Stories Life on the farm
Marlene always spoke of needing to take some time and write some of those stories down for future generations. In later years she decided to buckle down and start.
Unfortunately, she was unable to finish but there are a few and I present them here for your enjoyment.
Rare are those able to put these all on paper but with a memory like no other, she was able to cover many topics. She said she needed a few more but struggled to come up with more ideas for a few more chapters but I am convinced that she did a fantastic job capturing the stories you’ll find here.
With chapter titles such as “Just because it’s brown doesn’t mean it’s chocolate” and “My cup of tea is lumpy!” you know your funny bone is going to be tickled. Life lessons that everyone can benefit from.
Marlene’s philosophy on life was simple - everyone should have one gut-wrenching, belly-twisting, take your breath away laugh per day! I believe that the laughter she experienced with her parents, family and friends made even the toughest of times easier to handle.
As she states in the Introduction, she hopes and now we know that these stories will forever be part of her legacy.
