As I recall our lives on the farm with children, memories of fun times come to mind.  When in business for ourselves, we invested a lot of our profits in the farm.  Life revolved around the business.  With the absence of much spending money, therefore, we looked for ways to have fun that did not cost a lot.

• supper at a “restaurant”
• an “outdoor movie”
• a “winter picnic”
• trip “out west”
• the “circus”
• a “trip to the bakery”
• a “chicken pox party”
• a “home-made Christmas”

These may sound like they could use up cash. But not so, we did this all at home.  Our budget allowed for them all. The fun part of it, we could include other families in the fun. (Except, of course, we could not invite others to the “chicken pox” party.)

If you are looking for memory-making that costs very little, I hope you will enjoy walking with me down our “Memory Lane.”
