Always neat and always had the white chenille bed spread on it that draped down to the floor. We stayed in the younger years in the down stairs bedroom at the base of the stairway; then we graduated to one of the upstairs bedrooms. I remember the beautiful high heels and clothes also, and yes, we did idolize our older cousins and we loved Bunty dearly. I never knew his name was Harold until I was well approaching my 30s...all my letters were to Bunty V. and they delivered them! I thought that was his name. Beanie and Martin had a tv at some point of our going there--can still hear her cheering on Vern Gonhya and whatever other wrestler there was, who would have guessed that she was such a fan; you sure did not interrupt with some trivial nonsense when wrestling was on- broadcast from Fargo, no way. Our Aunt Beanie had a hard life, raising lots of kids, working from sun up to sun down, but she always welcomed visitors and loved their children. She kept everyone in tow, though, no nonsense going on there; she'd have your head if you didn't listen and behave. They were truly great people. Bunty...well, if there ever was a kidder...it was named Bunty. He could keep 10 kids in line, on horses, doing chores; whatever; and still kid around making sure everyone had fun. At the pool hall, he said to his old friend that had commented on me, (young teen at the time) that (Bunty) he had seen better looking legs on a pool table than what I had. (HUH< WHAT?) Hmm...fond memories of alot of wonderful people. Going to the farm and visiting our cousins, Mavis, Blanche, Sonny, Bunty, Ione was gone from area, ...that was the summer highlight. Hey, Jo...Mn. woodchucks, remember? Also, wasn't Cooper's pool the neatest...strange from a lake area kid...but we thought it was. 10 cents got a blissful day of cholerine water...hhaha.ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509827017091717946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084827514073795378.post-89941432860629265022009-08-13T01:16:27.139-05:002009-08-13T01:16:27.139-05:00Great Idea - Cooper Chapters!

I do remember going to the Loge's farm though for a picnic! Hopefully Georgia will add some stories too! She could be a guest blogger! And old pictures (if any) would be wonderful!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138747690602990437noreply@blogger.com
