Oscraps
Once Upon a Time
A little bit artsy and a little bit traditional. This photo of me was taken in 1952; I'm a grandma now, having a fourth grandchild, a first granddaughter, in August

Once upon a time
there was a little girl
who stepped over a little creek on her way to Sunday School
who made a pretty home for her dolls in her closet
who pretended adventures on the dirt road walking to school
who climbed fences to win at hide and seek
who rode her bike without a helmet
who tightened the skates attached to her shoes with a key
who ate Big Mamas tomatoes and okra
who carefully unwrapped and rewrapped Christmas gifts
who played red light, green light with Engineer Bill
who watched Howdy Doody on a black and white TV
who learned to swim and to dance the shuffle at tap class
who rode merry-go-rounds and reached the sky on swings
who missed school with the mumps and chicken pox
who jumped rope, reciting the rhymes, for a long time
who had piano lessons for only a year
who endured a mean first grade teacher
who earned As in school and wanted to be a teacher
who joined Blue Birds, then Camp Fire Girls
who cooked a hot dog on a bunsen burner
who read in bed under the blanket with a flashlight
who shared a room with her twin sister, her best friend
who accepted Christ at the age of nine
