Script

Mom and Dad, two brothers and three sisters, and I suppose one of my best childhood memories especially in the summer time was going down the meadows, especially when the saving of the hay, and then food would be brought down _ it was like a picnic! Sharing food, eating together and also going to my Granma_s place in Philemon, 6 miles away. I used to spend summers there and that used to be beautiful.
