A child of Larry and Betty will know

All the sounds of Lawrence Welk
How to survive with only one bathroom (and no shower) for 10 people
How to play ‘Eeni-Iyenie Over’
The taste (and smell) of fried hamburgers on Saturday night
How to play an instrument
The excitement of going to Redfish Lake
How to do the dishes
You’ll spend Christmas Eve with the Carrs
What room was perfect with a shiny red ceiling
How to play ‘Kick-the-can’
That the drug store across the street was our primary source of red licorice
All about sleeping outside during the summer
The ruthlessness of competition with siblings (especially playing Battleship and Monopoly)
The taste of hotdogs and pork and beans cooked over an open fire
What a jockey box is
The mysteries of the furnace room
That the doorbell never worked
The pleasure of the meals in Grandma’s cool and shady back yard
The long walk to Shelby’s market
About dad’s faithful service to Sister Crump
That you have to eat sugar daddies while driving over Galena Summit
The terrible fear that you’d be the one to break the front window
How much we loved Toufa
The cold, dank feel of the fruit room
The joy of having cousins come visit
The amazing jumble of the junk drawer in the hallway
The perfect love of being part of a close family
