Winter Memories by Aunt Wilda.

These cold days we have been having takes me back to Winter at the Lockhouse. No electric heat, no furnace heat, no heat at all, so we put in that old Wood Stove. Some times it would heat so well, and other times we would set around that stove and be nice and warm in the front and our backs were freezing. At night, Mother use to warm up the blankets and tell us to jump in bed, then she would throw those warm covers over us and put a brick on the stove. When it got hot, she would wrap it in a towel and place it at our feet to keep the bed warm.
We didn't have electric, so we had no radio, no television, (No one else did either) no refrigerator,(We had an Ice box). What we did have was a lot of time to be a family. We played board games, read, sewed, games outside, Ice games, fun with the animals, and Swimming.
We have lived in other places, but none has been remembered and loved as much as that place.It is a part of history.
