Ice Cream Blender
"This was our Friday night rigutal: Dad would make shakes with ice cream and Hersheys syrup and we'd all sit down to watch Scotty on Star Trek."
Empire Builder Schedule
"We took the train to Seattle for the World's Fair when I was 10 years old. I don't know which was more thrilling - the train or the fair."
The World's Fair
"I could tell stories all day about the Fair, but as a little girl from Montana, I mostly remember all the people everywhere."
Trout Soapdish
"At the ocean, my family picked up shells and put them in a bag to take home. When we got home, my mom put some of them into this special soapdish we had with a trout on it, which my Dad thought was funny because a trout shouldn't be in the ocean."
Oil Can
"I know this oil doesn't really look like anything, but my niece, the artist, said it was handsome and had "the beauty of pure usefulness."
Fossil Hunting
"Sometimes on Sunday, after church, cause he couldn't do any work, my Dad would take me ' treasure hunting' out in the just plowed field. He called it 'treasure hunting,' which sounded glamorous. Mostly, it was us walking slowly and staring at the dirt. Anyway, these are the best two things we ever found."
