Share a memory about staying overnight with a friend?
I do not believe that I ever stayed overnight with a friend. We were all pretty much farmer’s and thus stayed home at night to do the work. I did however stay overnight at grandma and grandpa Hansen’s place several times when we would go to Centerfield to visit them. There were usually other families there as well so we always had a lot of fun. There were two bedroom in their basement where we would sleep, the boys on the east side and the girls on the west or in the west bedroom. It had a hole between the rooms where we could stand up on the bed and by lifting ourselves up talk to cousins in the other room. We use to always plat red rover on the front lawn and hide and seek at night after dark. I believe we were always there during the summer as well since we didn’t travel during the winter or when school was going. It was always very fun except for the long drive to get there and back.
