Growing up on the Farm will rekindle fond memories for seniors and provide a useful device for stimulating discussions of childhood experiences with their offspring. My uncle is now 89 years old and he found these stories about life leading up to 1960 very exciting and enjoyed discussing his own experiences from that time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Readers who share this book with their elders can use its stories to bring forth memories about their family lore that might have never been discussed. From a very young age our playground was a 320-acre farm. We had bicycles, a red wagon, a pile of scrap lumber, and Dad's tools to create homemade toys. We all had daily chores starting at about the age of five and our parents were constantly stretching our capabilities by asking us do farm work that was more challenging than what we had done before.
