Life Story--Birth Order--Grandma Anna
Written Monday, June 23, 2008.
What is your place in the family? How do you feel about it?
"I'm 8th, the middle because an elder brother named Kelly (Richard Kelly, b. 1924, d. 1926) died before I was born, so that put me in the middle.
"How do I feel about it? There is nothing I could or can do about it. I tended the younger kids a lot when my mom went to help the older girls when they had children. It almost made me feel like I raised two families. Although I had fun playing with the kids and could get them to mind me pretty good.
"Then I had a family and when Linda had hers, she went to school in Tempe and even though I was working, I took care of her 6 children during the week. She came home over the weekend and took care of them. Bill helped a lot. We always had family prayer and home evening and scripture study. We enjoyed having them here. The twins were babies and are now on missions and will be home in less than a month."

Life Story--Favorite Animal--Grandma Anna
Written Sunday, June 22, 2008.
What is your favorite animal? Why? Tell about any pets you have had.
"I really don't have a favorite animal. We do have two Bassett hounds we are taking care of that belonged to our son before he passed away. I know they miss him because they don't get the attention they had from him. I'm afraid to be around horses. Baby calves don't scare me, but big cows with horns do."

Life Story--Winter Snow--Grandma Anna
Written Saturday, June 21, 2008.
Does it snow where you live? What kinds of things do you like to do in the snow?
"It doesn't snow as much now as it did when we were children. We liked to have snowball fights until someone put a rock in the center of the snowball and we weren't allowed to do that anymore. We also made snowmen. They were huge because there was so much snow."

Life Story--Neighborhood Games-Grandma Anna
Written Friday, June 20th, 2008.
What games did you play in the neighborhood when you were a child?
"Oversons and Waites were our neighbors. We had bonfires at night and played Hide-and-Seek. We also played Kick-the-Can and Annie-I-Over. We divided up the neighbors and us and each group got on one side of the houses and named the person we wanted to send over then if that person could catch the ball, they would stay on their side until all the players were sent over. The best one would win the game and got to choose the next game we played."
