Tell about your bedroom.

I had an upstairs bedroom that was fun since we had a pole going up near the window where we could climb in or out of our room by using it. Then later I had a basement room where it was always cool and had mice running around in quite regularly. I caught an awful lot of mice down in that room. It had two rooms adjoined by a doorway with no door. Our beds (two of them) were separated by a closet and in the same room we had a shower in the corner opposite of the doorway to the other room. The second room had a desk and book shelves where we could study in relative quiet surroundings. It also had a door that led to the outside of the house where I could sneak Pee Wee our small dog into the room without mom knowing. Dogs were not house pets according to her, only small birds and not even cats were allowed in the house, if she knew about it.

Did you have any favorite family songs that you sang together?

Other than Happy Birthday? Well we quite often sang as a family on Sunday evenings after sacrament meeting or even in the afternoons before meeting. The best part of it though was listening to dad with his beautiful base voice sing “The Mighty Deep”. He also sang some others but that was our favorite because he had to sing a note that was really low and we loved it because he always hit it perfectly. That was fun to sing and in fact I learned to sing parts , Alto no less, from Alma during several of those evenings as we sang “Love at Home” as a family for Sacrament meeting on time and she needed some help with the alto. I have sang base or tenor mostly since getting older but can still do alto if I use my falsetto voice mode.
