Celebrations

We generally get together around the 4th of July every year and have a family reunion, and we try to make that in different areas or different places. We also go together to a lot of ball games. A lot of the grandchildren play on baseball teams, travel around to different states to play in tournaments as well as the young girls are playing on softball teams, and they do a lot of that. So, we spent a lot of time going to those types of activities.

 

Christmas was always the big thing in our family. Carol was always making sure that she had set up the festivities for every one of our children, and that we all enjoyed Christmas together. That was always an important thing in our family.

 

We always have a Christmas tree. Most years, we would go out and find a tree that we could cut down ourselves.

 

We always had a Christmas dinner. We’re all a family that come and enjoy time together and have great meals together. We have some kind of meat that was cooked and then potatoes.

 

We always had Thanksgiving together every year at Grandmothers house.

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@porchswingstories.com

We recommend that you save any stories you placed on your Storysite that you choose to keep prior to December 31, 2025. (Open the chapter you want to save, hit Edit My Chapter, and copy and paste to Microsoft Word or another format.)

Thanks!
