Porch Swing Tip of the Week: My Childhood, Part Two: The Places
A member of our Porch Swing family shared about being raised in Oklahoma, where summers were so hot and dry that no grass grew in the mobile home park where her family lived. Information about where you grew up, especially if it was far from where you ended up, may be like a whole new world to your children and grandchildren. What was your hometown like? What did it smell like? (This may seem a little odd, but the experts tell us that a story is better if it makes use of all the senses – taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound.) What was a typical Saturday morning like in your neighborhood? What did you like to do to pass the time? This might be a chapter that makes your kids say, “Well, that explains a lot!”
