It's fun seeing what innovative ideas people have. And yes, as a former quilter, I love the quilts. <br /><br />Julie, I had to laugh at your grandson's observation that wagons are pulled by tractors, not horses. Then it made me sad. There's something noble about the horse-drawn wagon. No doubt I'm romanticizing it. And that's why I write historical romance. :-)Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-29479287383439208782012-10-11T11:17:05.841-07:002012-10-11T11:17:05.841-07:00My best memory is when my husband and I were datin...My best memory is when my husband and I were dating and we had a hayride and planned to roast hot dogs, along with chips, and choc. cake. When we my church group got there, no one had a match or a lighter, so we at raw hot dogs and I cooked the cake. Well, half was not completely cooked.<br /><br />It was one disaster after another and the best time I ever had.

I asked him about his traditional hay ride with his family at a local farm and if the wagon was pulled by horses or a tractor.<br /><br />He laughed and said, "You're funny Grandma Juju. Wagons aren't pulled by horses. They're pulled by tractors."<br /><br />Sigh. You can tell my children and grandchildren didn't spend their summers on the farm like we did.<br /><br />Peace, Julie J.

My family always hosted the hayrides for our church while I was growing up. Now that I'm married, my husband's family always hosts the hayrides for the church.
