Memories...

Betty commented the house in Caney had memories for us well here is a short story....

While we lived in Caney I worked as a checker ion a grocery store in Bartlesville Oklahoma.

The Caney house was very old as were most of the homes in Caney. One winter Mike and I put rolled insulation in the attic. While in the attic I stepped off a rafter and my leg went through the Sheetrock in the closet.

That evening I went o work and while in the break room I told a friend that I was rolling out insulation in the attic and fell through the ceiling. A male employee was also listing to the story. When I finished telling it he said, "Helen those rafters are only 24" apart. How did you fall through them?"

Some things never change...

Hope you didn't hurt anything when you fell. Memories, sometimes they are painful ones.

I remember running in this house around the bedroom door jam and cutting my knee on a finishing nail that was sticking out.

I also remember dad making a bed for Billy to sleep in our closet and Melissa and I sharing the full size bed.
