Aunt Lolly

Carolyn Jean isn’t doing well.

February 17, 2016 by Aunt Lolly 4 Comments

Aunt Lolly sent this to me yesterday:

David Schlichtmann called this morning to let us know that Carolyn Jean is in St. Mary’s hospital.  She fell at home, and they have been doing all kinds of tests to find out the trouble, but have found none so far.  They think it may be her kidneys, and the cancer. She is in room 310.  I ask David if I could contact you about putting this information on the family web site. He said I could. For now just say(Carolyn Jean is not doing well, and prayers for her are requested.)

I can’t find an address for St. Mary’s hospital, new address, but I know it’s on Mission  Drive,  I’m sure she would enjoy card’s.

When Naomi and I were in high school, Cleo gave us each a beautiful expensive skirt and sweater for Christmas. One spring morning, I asked Naomi if I could wear hers to school. She finally agreed. I loved the color. It was pink and gray with pleats all around and the sweater was pink. After milking the cows and getting ready for school, I was running late and had to walk and run the 1/2 mile to catch the bus. It had rained hard during the night and the road had two-foot deep ruts in it from the milk truck. I was trying to get around them and my feet slipped in the mud and I fell flat on my face in the mud and water. I never was so sick in my life. My sister’s beautiful outfit was covered with mud! I just walked back home and I missed school that day. The dry cleaners were able to get it clean, but they ironed out all the pleats. I am reminded of the old saying “Into each life some rain must fall”. It poured on me that day. Ha!

Mahlon came home on leave from the Air Force. He bought us each a new toothbrush and a big tube of Colgate toothpaste! This was my first toothbrush and paste. It was wonderful!! We had to use our fingers dipped in baking soda to clean our mouth and teeth. He also bought us a very good softball glove. We loved it.

The best times for us were when our older brothers and sisters and their families came home to visit. Our nieces and nephews were such joys to us.

One summer while the older family members were making hay with the team of horses and wagon, when Naomi and I were little, we got the bright idea of hauling in our own load of hay. We filled our Radio Flyer wagon with hay, stomped it down, and hitched our dog “Bertie” to the wagon. That dog would not help us. She just laid down. Well that was another big disappointment in our life. We had to pull the wagon ourselves.

One Halloween, our car was broken down. We had a 4-H Halloween party at Oak Grove. We got dressed up in our costumes. Mother and Daddy went-with us. We walked by lantern light to Oak Grove. When we got there, no one could guess who we were because we came out of the woods and had no car to give us away. I will always remember that beautiful walk through the woods late that night. It was spooky and exciting with a big moon and millions of stars shining, and Mother and Daddy to keep us safe.

When I was small, I spent many hours sitting on Daddy’s lap combing his hair. He had lots of patience and endured a lot. He taught us to play blind pitch, and then regular pitch. He played the harmonica and I played my drum sitting by the old wood stove in the wintertime.

On cold winter weekend nights, we would run upstairs where the peanuts and popcorn were laid out to dry on papers on the floor, dip up a big pan of peanuts and grab ears of popcorn and take them to the kitchen. We put the peanuts in the oven to bake and shelled the popcorn. We would pop a big dishpan of popcorn. Then Mahlon, Cleo, Naomi and I would play cards or Monopoly till midnight.
