Will the Chicken be with Grandma?

By James F. Weber

I did not start this project with the intention of publishing my stories. I started recording stories at the insistence of my family. My family did not want them lost. Once the number of recorded events reached 200, we decided to publish a book. I have lived these stories and have told them many times. These are not finely polished accounts; they are written like I talk.

This book is not full of helpful hints for pioneer living. It contains no self-help or personality improvement chapters. This is not a book about religion or politics. A few recipes might be found hiding somewhere in the pages. This is because food is one of my favorite things to eat.

I have been blessed with a wonderful long-term memory. I remember happenings from my pre - walking and talking days. I have recorded memories from my first fourteen years, the depression and drought years through WW II (1932 - 1946). It is made up of my life on the farm, my family especially my brother, school, church, and entertainment. I tell about the wonderful old neighbors, our work, our play, and our fights. It was a time when we made our own fun and grew our own food, almost living off of the land. It was a great time in history to grow up, but I don't describe it as "The good old days."
