Tru here. Bits n Pieces 2b-07.

Week-ends in October during the 1970s, our family could almost always be found outside.

.

Worst of the fire danger had passed, so
We spent those days with chainsaws, gathering wood, gathering downed branches and briars, and generally cleaning up the acreage.

… and a good work-day was not complete without campFire, hot Dogs, marshmallows, and music.

Sometimes Dad would join with his harmonica … and sometimes with his wonderful bass voice that just purrred.

It was family time, and Family is FAMILY, so generally i participated on the week-ends even after i married — until 1980, when the military years began. 
One week we would do a work-day with my family, and the next week we would do a day with my husband’s family (who lived down the road from my parents).

… exhaustion, but GOOD exhaustion,
with anticipation of fun times at the end of the day.
