I am interested in learning more about family history and how my family fits into the history of the nation. This starts out with answers to questions from my daughter-in-law, Keri Hills. The first question is answered in the oldest post.

10.What was your favorite toy and why?

I don't' really remember a favorite toy.  However, I do remember longing for a "Tiny Tears" doll. I was in the second grade and we lived in the farm house at Rice. When the Sears Roebuck Christmas Catalog came, I cut out the picture of Tiny Tears . Every night, I'd say my prayers, and right after the litany of "God Bless Mama, God Bless Daddy, God Bless Grandma and the rest , I'd  ask God to bring me Tiny Tears for Christmas.  Then  I'd whisper to the picture and tell Tiny all the wonderful things we were going to do, until I finally  fell asleep.
On Christmas morning, there under the tree was a doll sized box. I just knew that God had answered my prayers.
But Mama got the doll that wet her pants mixed up with the doll that cried real tears and I ended up with "Besty Wetsy" instead.
