"Tilly" that is funny. Good work here, Gold stars. I have alerted folks about Kathy( Bill schotts wife) and Sandra. Jesse James Doty is home from his spine operation and is recovering ahead of schedule. Paul Manton is home again after another very bad infection. Season's greetings seems kind of ironic. Love and prayers to you and yours. Karen

I'm enjoying your stories. I think you were luky not to get burned trying to take a burning object through an open door. I tried that one and wind blue the flame back on me and I got badly burned.

Ooof no. That was terrible. I have no idea how I even made it, I was kind of numb.

I really enjoyed reading this, it went from the hallway, to cellars then moved forwards to pantries, Liz. I would have been distressed if your hand got in that machine. A word to the wise, never ever play with dangerous things. I am gathering you were blessed with wood. Blessings n Hugs!!!

Thank you for the amusing review. I like your warning, about 73 years too late...lol Did you ever get near those rollers?? Probably smart not to.
-
I actually got close to those rollers, the tips of my fingers were stuck in them, that's the way they were made later.
You are so very welcome, Liz.
-
When they were stuck, that must have been terrifying. The rollers just kept on rolling with ours. Scary.
-
Darn scary.

***double sigh***

We can sigh & do a gallows laugh at the time...lol

You make it fun

As do you!

Yes we can, lol.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I am really enjoying this trip throughout your life. I am glad you're sharing it with us.
Mother
said, "It was called a Tilly." We casually received that fact and didn't give it
another thought. (spacing issue)
snickered when I heard
some woman's name was Tilly. I thought, oh my gosh, she has no idea what her
name means. (spacing issue and there are more with spacing issues)

Thank you for your supportive review. I have not been able to get the spacing right the last two times, very agitating.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
I know the feeling when you need to move out and have your own home and you need all the comfort that you can get. Sometimes what you dream is not always what you get, but it's a start.

So true. Thank you for your compassionate review.
Comment from lyenochka
I was wondering why the formatting was like that. Is it due to the large font size?
Anyway, I'm relieved that you still have your arm! There was a famous one-armed baseball player who lost his arm that way!
I'm wondering why your parents named your brother Nike who was the goddess of victory. But I guess they focused on the "victory" part.
Lot of scary stories from your childhood memories of that cellar!

Thank you for your supportive review. Lately I haven't been able to get the font or spacing to my satisfaction. If it ever gets published, that can be someone else's problem.
-
True! I think formatting is such a headache!
Have a great night ! 💖🎵🎄

Thank you...you also
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is interesting as you pick several places in your life that have meaning for you. You do, however, have some odd sentence breaks and broken up paragraphs. You might want to fix that and this sentence: (We) decided against having snakes. . . Best wishes for a lovely holiday season for you and those your love.

They may not look at it because it doesn't look like it should. That's just one of the facts of the publishing life.

I think I got it. What a mess. I noticed Sally had her letter size messed up too.
grrrr
Comment from Austin Yu
This is such a timeless piece of poetry, as it writes about your mother, and all the things she has done for your home and family. Wonderful is all I can say. Happy holidays!

How sweet a review. Thank you. Happy holiday also.
Comment from Douglas Goff
What a great, honest, warm peek into your young life! I think we may all have a "remember when we Al it's burnt the house down" story.
Your mom chasing the River rat with the broom was a hilarious image to portray!
I never heard of a wiener called a 'Tilly'. Too funny!

Comment from Lea Tonin1
Very clever piece of work! I like your approach! I especially enjoyed the first part of your story. "For shadowing a cautionary tale" sets the mood right away! I see no issues with grammar sentence structure or subject matter. It's a great entry, really good job. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday too!
