When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her

Anecdote the text begins with an anecdote eg at the beginning how waiter Jamie Beaulieu
had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons only to find an ordinary-looking household
eg how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber
eg how Sam Walton lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing
Example the author uses a lot of examples to show how folksy and generous Sam Walton is
Contrast and comparison eg the waiter Jamie Beaulieursquos anticipation and
the reality he later found out form a contrast It reveals Sam Waltonrsquos down-home characteristics
eg when retired company president Ferold F Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer we appreciate further Sam Waltonrsquos generosity

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

When memory began for me my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke
Everywhere he went Gramp made friends easily At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life I soon learned that he hated to give orders but that when he had to he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions

bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

She was like the father of the French painter Millet who used to gather grass and show it to his son saying See how beautiful this is
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value The softer virtues are considered unnecessary Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable even for a moment to forget the business of preserving their lives Only unusual people like my grandparents manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth

Remembering My Grandparents
One July morning as he was leaving to go to the cornfield he said Edwin you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do thatrdquo Then he drove away with his horses The day passed and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field Gramp dusty and tired led the horses to get their drink
bull How many bags of potatoes were there Gramp inquired I dont know How many potatoes did you pick up I didnt pick anyrdquo Not any Why not You said I could pick them up if I wanted to You didnt say I had to

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget when Gramp said I could if I wanted to he meant that I should want to Gram hated cruelty and injustice The injustices of history even those of a thousand years before angered her as much as the injustices of her own day
She also had a deep love of beauty When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because as she said the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure The bird the flowers the clouds-all that was beautiful around her- pleased her
