Here's what I remember about one walk when I was a little girl…

One place near our house that I vividly remember from childhood is Lyon's Hill. I remember going up that hill one wintry day on my way to the bus stop where I caught a bus to go downtown to do Christmas shopping. (People traveled that hill to get on the main road out of the side communities.) This particular day my heart was light and full of happy anticipation because Daddy had given each of us kids $5.00 to do our Christmas shopping!

Here is a fond memory I have of each person in my family:

Mom — Her offer to buy me a new coat when she probably needed one, not me.
Dad — Praising me by saying "JoAnn memorizes the dictionary" which of course I did not! — The day he called me in Pawtucket to tell the good news of his conversion.
Sara — How she helped me make headpieces for our wedding.
Nedra — Her generosity in giving me a beautiful winter coat.
Gloria — The 6 mos. we lived with her and Ron while our house was being built.
Dottie — Her glowing testimony.
Gillie — Her wonderful meals and words of encouragement.
Dick — How he would say I was his favorite sister. Of course he said this to all his sisters.

Notes: "Mom" is Viola Mae Thorne Deem Montgomery. "Dad" is Gilbert Roy Deem.
