Grandma Alma's Childhood, In Her Own Words:

"I fell on a bunch of metal heavy pipes laying against the neighbor's garage.  And we decided it'd be fun to roll those pipes with our feet.  I think that's when it happened.  Can you see my nose?  It changed the shape of my nose, I'd probably have a little wider nose if it wasn't for that.

...We were across the street from the Baptist church at the edge of town.  And back of that church were fields, and a biiig tempting haystack with a big pitchfork in it.  And Dad just kept warning us,'Don't ever go near that haystack.'  So guess what?  That's right where Elmer (her brother) went.  And he got the pitchfork through his foot.  So, I don't know if he pulled it out, I don't know how we got him to the doctor, I can't remember.  He was alright. 

There was another story that made me think of...  Oh!  My Dad, we went to a wedding once in the afternoon, and while my Dad went in church...we had to stay in the car for some reason...and he left the camera.  He said,'Doooon't touch it!'  What do you think we did??  We played with the camera all afternoon!  He was about ready to throw us all out!  In those days, you know, you had a camera and you had film~there weren't chances to take it over again."~All Grandma Alma :)
