What were your favorite toys as a child?

  At a very young age I don't remember toys as much as I remember exploring and climbing trees.  When I was middle school age I remember two christmas gifts that I just loved.  One was a race car track that did a loopty loop.  The cars were powered by rolling them backward and letting go. The other was a wood burning tool.  If only I had been a bit more creative I could have made lots of fun stuff.    I also loved the little wooden walking toys and would play with them at Payless Drug store while mom shopped.  Some worked on a slope some you had to wind up.   I wasn't much for dolls or kitchen stuff.

Where did you go on vacations as a child?

 Our vacations were always to visit family.  We went to Salmon, Idaho moslty.  My sister Selma and her family lived there.  I remember trips in the summer and winter.  Going to the hotsprings pool with snow all around.  I learned to swim there and watch my dad sit where the hot water entered the pool.  Whew!  way to hot for me.  I remember visiting the farm where my mom grew up.   You had to cross a rickety wooden bridge over a small creek to get to the house.  I used to worry that it may not hold us.  I could imagine my mother riding a horse down that lane to go to school.  George Stoddard, Selma's husband, had a bee hive in the shed behind their house.  We knew to keep our distance but he did have a glass beehive in the house where we could watch the bees working in the honey comb.  Out their back yard and across the street was a family with kids we would go to play with.  There were half round wagon ...

What is one of your favorite meals?

 I really am a meat and potatoes kind of person.  A really yummy steak would always be my go to.  I can't say I cook them well but the filet at Texas Roadhouse - I'm in heaven. Roast Beef, mashed potatoes, salad, rolls....so good.  Ray's mom had a roasting pan that she seared the roasts in and let them bake while we were at church.  Since I was often pregnant on our visits, I remember the frustration of not being able to eat my fill.  Oh how I loved Sunday dinners at George and Louise's.   The next best thing is a cold roast beef sandwich with a slice of Tillamook cheese and garden tomatoes.  Growing up, I honestly loved just about everything.  Squash & cooked onions were the only thing I really didn't like, though I would eat them.  I learned to love both as an adult.  A tomato sandwich from garden tomatoes is also a favorite.  Must be on white bread...homemade is the best, and mayo with salt and pepper.   I...
