My brother Roy, a year older than I, had a very good voice, and he would sing, and I would tap dance. We used to sing and dance at school and community gatherings. Once we were asked to compete at a talent show in Salmon. How excited I was! Roy thought it was a bunch of nonsense but agreed finally. My cousin Aletha (Aletha May Bradley)<\/em> made me a costume for   it. I\u2019ll always remember that little outfit. It was made of black velvet. Black shorts, black halter top, and black top hat and a cane, which matched the song Roy sang. \u201cHand me Down my Walking Cane.\u201d  We didn\u2019t win, but it sure was fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved to dance and sing and write little stories. I loved to sing, and a neighbor, Mr. Weaver taught me how to tap dance, and then I would make up my own routine or dances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite playthings was making mud pies. I fed my dolls more mud pies named cherry, apple, and lemon. I made a real good Irish stew for my dolls too, out of mud. How many pails of water (pails made out of lard pails), I carried around the yard to make my famous pies.! Dad showed me how to put them on a rock or piece of wood so they would \u201ccook\u201d. And, the sun would always oblige, because the next day my pies were done and of course hard as a brick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
