Describe your bedroom.
It's big enough for a king size bed, twin beds, 3 chests of drawers, and a dresser mirror. It needs carpet, but we can make it do until our twins get home from their missions. Then if we find a color we like, we'll get new carpet. Everything else is OK. We also have 2 night stands, a cedar chest, and a buffet with the TV on it. The drawers are full of my crafts. We have a big closet in our bedroom. A bathroom with a room full of closets joining it, and a store room for some of our food storage we use often.

Life Story -- Cultural Events -- Grandma Anna
Written Sunday 27 April, 2008
Do you like to go to the theater? The Opera? The symphony? Which do you like best and why?
I have been to only one opera when I was visiting my aunt. It was very good, although I couldn't understand the songs they were singing.
It depends what is on at the theater. Some are bad and some are good.
I have never been to a symphony, but I watch a lot of videos and DVDs from Family Films, because they have good morals in them.

Life Story -- Luck -- Grandma

What do you thing brings good or bad luck?
Some decisions bring bad luck. Good decisions, listening to the Holy Ghost brings good luck. What we do makes a difference in the way our lives turn out. Follow the teachings of Christ in the LDS Church and good things will come. However sometimes we are given trials to see how we overcome them and grow.

What did your grandfathers do for a living? Did your grandmothers work, too?
My Grandfather McCray left his family before they moved here from West Virginia.
My Grandfather Berry farmed and sold grains, hay, vegetables, and fruit. Grandma Berry worked hard doing laundry on a washboard, cooking, and cleaning.
My Grandma McCray worked hard gardening, sewing for people, crocheting bedspreads for people. She had 2 cows and sold milk and butter. She made her living doing these things.

Life Story -- Family Reunions -- Grandma Anna
We always go to the mountains and some times we have a big crowd, sometimes not. We usually have games to play together and sometimes we tell stories of our olden days. Sometimes the same ones are told over and over, but we always laugh. Some stay for 3 days, some for only one. But Bill and I stay 3 weeks normally.

What did your father do for a living? How did he get to work? What time did he go and get home? What did he do for lunch? Who did he work with?
He worked at Whitings saw mill to get enough money to buy a piece of property and build his mother a house before he married my mother.
He worked helping build roads, he had a blacksmith shop. He most of the time didn't for doing work for people. He also did some freighting in his truck. He hauled coal for the school furnace. They paid him.
We never knew when he would be home or when he would leave. He was a hard worker at whatever he did. During the 2nd World War the city wanted to see who could plant the best victory garden and non could compare to his. Anyway, he won. The winner got a plaque saying the Best Victory Garden belonged to them.
