My girls club would come over every so often for an overnight which was always fun. They loved helping with Kelly.

We came back from New England & were very tired as it was late in the evening. I could hardly wait to hit the bed.

Up the road was a dear lady who was very kind. She was a good friend of my Mom's. Her name was Orphie McKluggie. I have probably misspelled her name. Anyway, we would be out playing & she would call to us & we would go see her; she always gave us a candy bar-a whole one to each of us. You could tell she really enjoyed doing this. As I recall, she ( Read more... )

I, Maxine, was born in 1943 to Genevieve & Grover Hendrix, in Uniontown Hospital. We lived up in the mountains in the village of Farmington, Pa. My mother's twin brothers, Herb & Bob Baker took us in after my Dad left us. I was 5 when he knelt down in front of me & said,"Magazine" I have to leave. He always called me Magazine. I don't remember ( Read more... )
