Goulash and Picking Pickles

Goulash and Picking Pickles Read about life in the 1950's through Louise's eyes. Learn about siblings, four of them; Cousins, over 40 of them, and ice skating on the natural pond in her back yard. Louise ends each chapter by sharing recipes from her grandmother and other family and friends. Did JFK win the Wisconsin primary in 1961? And how did Senator Kennedy happen to visit Washington High School in New London, and thus change a young student's perception of politics? What's it like being the teacher's kid? Louise had her father as her teacher for all eight grades in a one-room school. Was more, or less, expected of her? And how does a teacher's kid earn money in the country? Picking pickles, strawberries, raspberries and in the winter selling roses. Those roses were waxed and made by her mother. Is country living more charming or boring than city life? Louise enjoyed walks in the woods and bicycle rides on country roads, but really longed to see big city lights. Having a chance to spend a summer in Chicago Louise was totally flabbergasted to find out that the family whose children she was babysitting were vacationing in rural Wisconsin! She couldn't imagine what they would find exciting about rural life.

Another Chance       Sometimes a sports trade, draft pick, or roster cut turns out to be one of the worst personnel moves since the selection of Barabbas over Jesus.  That's not always easy on the fellow who didn't pan out, and by 34 A.D. Barabbas was aware of what the other guy did.     When a minor league baseball stadium gets sent to that year after a home run ball hits a timehole, Barabbas ends up in the minor leagues when one of the teams figures that he might make the most of another chance to live up to the previous year's decision.  While the rest of the stadium is focused on returning to their own century, there's time for baseball when that's not possible and even time to teach Barabbas the basics of the game.     Another Chance combines the enjoyment of baseball with the quest to return the stadium and its occupants to their original era and the desire of Barabbas to regain the reputation which led to the crucifixion decision so unpopular in hindsight.
