I had my Grandad over a few weeks ago and I loved picking his brains about his days as a bus driver (he's 91 and still drives like a crazy bus driver). We can learn so much if we have the patience and time to listen...

I have a dream to own one and travel the country.<br /><br />I also love listening to the stories of my older relatives, wish I had listened more to my parents. I do remember many of their stories though and have been writing them down.One memory leads to another.<br /><br />AND, I must tell you that I love your mother, I love singing when the mood hits me. Now if I could only carry a tune, my kids might not object so much, lol.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233931721536332982.post-79584766222229751102010-12-07T21:41:55.842-05:002010-12-07T21:41:55.842-05:00What a fabulous post Jane!

I love her stories. <br /><br />I have always loved to listen to the stories of the older generations and still do. Amazing what you can learn by listening to them. When my grands and great grands were alive I used to encourage them by asking questions. My kids are not that interested but every now and then they like to hear something. I have a private blog where I am creating a journal just for the family. I have encouraged other family members to add posts to it so that it becomes a well-rounded family journal instead of through my eyes only.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your mother's stories with us! <br /><br />~ TracyMs. Bake-ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788863782876226680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233931721536332982.post-78675461519141721002010-12-06T08:39:57.655-05:002010-12-06T08:39:57.655-05:00Very inspiring story.

First, the story and secondly, ...How totally cool!! First, the story and secondly, the fact that you are appreciating listening to your mom tell her stories so that you'll remember them to tell your kids!! I so vividly remember my daddy trying to tell me about his war time. I so vividly remember thinking...."when will this ever be over"...and do not remember one thing he told me. Then when he died, I inherited his war box....the green box that all soldiers received when they went to war to keep their personals in. Until the day he died, he kept all of his stuff in that box, including marriage license, birth certificate..(stuff we all keep in a safety deposit box) and kept that box in a wall in our house. He didn't trust the banks! When I go thru his stuff, I kick myself for not listening to his stories so I would know what all the medals and honors were for.<br />And like someone above, my blog is my diary of our daily lives for my children and theirs.....just in case they haven't paid attention thru the yrs!!<br />Great post!!jmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455394380447484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233931721536332982.post-4518605129058788352010-12-04T06:55:14.543-05:002010-12-04T06:55:14.543-05:00What a lovely post!

That in itself is a memory to cherish. Does Mom have knowledge (or a theory) about why the cans were often without labels?<br /><br />Perhaps she wouldn't mind if you recorded conversations with her... imagine how thrilled future generations would be to have that.<br /><br />Peace & pie,<br />Julia~Drawn to The Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821088207872466505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233931721536332982.post-88261921456990733762010-12-02T17:41:10.847-05:002010-12-02T17:41:10.847-05:00Loved this post Jane!

And the story of the young man repaying his mother's debt really touched my heart. Hope you are having a wonderful week.

I no longer have any relatives to cull their memories so I started my blog so that my grandchildren, who are very technical, could read someday what us snowbirds did in the winter we weren't with them in North Carolina.Donniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665597376389301581noreply@blogger.com
