Iowa Bobsledding... Memories of Growing up an Iowa Farm Girl

Kittens on the Farm

One of my great memories of growing up on the farm was all our kittens. Every year we would have a new batch. My sister and I would name everyone and then play with them as if they were are babies. Who needed dolls. We even tried dressing them up in doll clothes.

Helping on a Rose Parade Float from a New Year's Past

One great memory of a New Year's Day was our trip to California and working on the Rose Floats for the world famous Rose Bowl Parade.

This was the Honda float and even though we only helped for a short time attaching last minute flowers we were so proud when it went by.

Sledding on our Iowa Farm

Growing up in rural Iowa was always an outdoor adventure. My sister Lois and I would love to take our sleds and go sledding down our "dirt" road along our farm. We always had so much fun.
