Almost 70 years ago Clyda and Veon were married. That union is why we are all here. This blog is created to capture our thoughts and help us get to know each other better. There will be a new question posted each Sunday until December. Please use contributors first names only. If you are posting anonymously please add your first name to the text. Enjoy!

Attention everyone...Marilyn has a WEB PAGE !! You can check it out at www.marilynsmithartist.com!
Nicole, please publish the following disclaimer in a prominent place:
I hesitated to make long narratives with these posts, but Nicole said she might put the whole blog thing into a book form someday, and I could use this as a forum for writing for my kids and grandkids. I can’t pass up an opportunity like that. So rather than bore you, feel free to skip anything you’re not interested in or don’t want to be bothered to read. Sonja
Note from Nicole:
I am happy to do this for anybody that is interested. I am enjoying hearing from each of you and would love to hear from more. Thanks Sonja for taking the time to work on this and giving us an opportunity to get to know you better.
Kids from Lt to Rt:Marilyn, Barbara, Veon Jr., Gladys, Gerald, Evan. Clyda and Veon in the Middle.

I don't remember a story before going to bed but I remember reading all the Dr Seus stories, Saggy Baggy Elephant, Little Black Sambo,and Aseop's Fables.

My grandma read me the same 2 or 3 books every night. I have just started to really discover children's books as I have had kids. Have lots of favorites but currently a few of my favorites are-
-Stand Tall Molly Lou Mellon
-I had Troubles Getting to Solla Solleu
-Junie B. Jones
-Oh What a Busy Day
-The bug that went Kachoo
-Where the Wild Things Are
Gladys introduced me to C.S. Lewis and the Chronicles of Narnia. I read them to Jennifer and Jerilyn, then read them again a few years later to Eric and Suzanne. I've LOVED the Harry Potter series! Where the Wild Things are must be on nearly everyone's list of favorites.
Mother rad to all of us. I remember especially The Secret Garden and Little Women. Don't remember the ones from earlier years.

I loved Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! I don't even remember what it was about, but the title was so cool!
Where the Red Fern Grows was my favorite book when I became a better reader.
We had a whole book shelf full of books, and my mom let us pick three books to read before bed. Where the Wild Things Are and Madeline were my two favorites. (If I have children, Max and Madeline are my top two names). As we got older, my mom read us the first two books of The Chronicles of Narnia. One of my first goals after graduating school, and not having to read and studyl, was/is to read and finish this series. I haven't started, yet. I've read some of the Harry Potter books, but I don't remember where I left off, and I've resisted some of the movies, so they aren't ruined. I need to start reading!
