Sure would like to ride another!<br /><br />I think your Mom was pretty cool and probably a bit ahead of her time!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-1603537444508219682010-12-08T18:42:46.571-06:002010-12-08T18:42:46.571-06:00Hey Ben, Both my grandparents were railroaders, on...Hey Ben, Both my grandparents were railroaders, one on the PRR and one on the B&O.

My Mom's family really knew how to have fun, good clean fun.<br /><br />Trouble, a camp in Pennsylvania is like a place to spend your free time out in nature, a base for hiking, fishing, and/or hunting. Sort of like a year round hunting lease here in Texas. The length of stay was determined by how much free time they had.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-10240458096555411012010-12-08T10:35:39.882-06:002010-12-08T10:35:39.882-06:00Did I miss it?

What really thrills me is that my 21 yr old granddaughter is the same as me - another gypsy in the making! I'm not sure it's inherited, but it might be partly the example that is set for you. I don't remember anyone ever setting an example or influencing me though. Good questionGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
