All the things you learned about, all the things you heard about plus life had little technology distractions like they do now. <br /><br />Dentures, moonshine and outhouses sounds very interesting to me Traci, ha ha ha. <br /><br />You're so right when you say 'no family is perfect'. Every family has the good and bad mixed in somewhere along the line, but some know how to hide the bad and not wash their dirty linen in public.Rum-Punch Drunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13531893705181077869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130562166833045923.post-78067755112484343622013-04-19T07:32:49.178-04:002013-04-19T07:32:49.178-04:00Thanks!

Once I reached high school, every summer was spent on my father's ranch in Montana. Talk about culture shock! I had to learn how to ride a horse and shoot a rifle. Also learned to drive there, in a jeep in the mountains. I remember being in awe of the ranch hand's daughter, who was my age at the time--14, and she drove a truck and a motorcycle!!! Well, I spent many a summer on the back of that motorcycle. Oh my, those were the days.....LOVE this post, Traci--I feel like I'm right there, you described it so well . Thanks for sharing one of your special memories!menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130562166833045923.post-8393381941074287092013-04-18T14:49:54.731-04:002013-04-18T14:49:54.731-04:00You have no idea how much I love this!

I loved going there. Running through the tobacco fields with Aaron, chasing little iridescent lizards and lightning bugs, Mammoth Caves, and the Green River Boat ride, late nights at Aunt Nellie's and Uncle Russel's playing with the cousins, country breakfasts, and the liars bench at the McDaniels General Store. So many great memories come from those vacations.
