My Papa used to tell SO MANY stories of growing up in South Dakota, traveling out west, and settling in Seattle. In addition he had oodles of zany escapades recounting our crazy family history. When he was around I thought I'd NEVER forget these nuggets of history, but now...they're hard to recall unless I'm with family and we jog each other's memories. Oh how I wish I would have captured them!
Recently I went out to lunch with my Grandma, kids and cousin. My Grandma began telling a story about settling in the Rainier Valley of Seattle. I quickly changed the camera mode to record and tried to capture a bit. I wish I would have gotten more, but it's inspired me to try in the future.
Here's the little tidbit I caught. It's only about two minutes, but so rich in memory-making.
