Ep 16 School Days - The Good but Mostly Bad
In this episode we start off talking about Little Women - a great version just out now. And then I talk about our school days. It ended up being more about me than my mom. The most interesting part is that I didn't really talk to my parents about the bullying...and I wonder if that is the case for most kids. It wasn't fun to have a girl two years younger pull your hair the whole school bus ride home. And hard to explain the sense of relief when she got off at her home.

Ep 15 The Wedding Guest
This fun episode features a very special guest - my Aunt Marguerite. Her first time to our house was the day before my mom and Bills wedding.

Ep 14 Mom and Finding Her Faith
This is my favorite episode so far...not only because we get to hear moms path to her faith in God but also because you can tell this means so much to her. Moms life is so amazing and her faith has an obvious influence. We also talk a bit about the passing of my Grandmother Anne...I still miss her every day and that was hard to talk about. This episode is beautiful. I apologize about the volume level of my voice. I was not aware it was not matching mom's.

Ep 13 Mountain Water and Mountain Girls
In this episode we are trying a new microphone for mom so hopefully the quality is okay as we talk about how we got our water...for drinking and bathing. The big 5 gallon (?) jugs you often see on the back of Jeeps were what we used most of the time. And I also ask mom what it was like to send us off into the woods to get to the bus stop as such young children. It was a different life...and I imagine there may still be people doing this today...maybe.

Ep 11 How to Build a Log Cabin!
In this episode Bill and Kathy talk about the details of how the cabin was built. It still stands to this day 40 years later. I suspect many of people have camped in our cabin found deep i the woods.
