You were lucky you had such a variety of fresh produce from your dad’s store! Wow 9 of you, that’s a large household and I’ll bet your mom was plenty busy.

I remember my Grandmother had a cherry tree in her back yard and we kids would pick the cherries and she’d make them into a pie. I thought I’d died and gone to Heaven eating her cherry pie.

There were train tracks at the far end of mt Grandmother’s back yard. My sister and I would stand there and watch the trains. I remember the cars said Erie Lackawanna. If a train came by and you were in her house, the dishes in her china cupboard would rattle.
