They made good rooms warm and papered inside. We had lots of nice things sent us from home, As my only brother,Mother lived with him and his wife in Hot Springs,S.Dakota. I was very happy. I had lived in a city most of my girl hood, so the ranch was so free and country so beautiful. The ranch homes were close so we were never lonesome. So in 1909 Paul was born, in 1911 Ida was born- 1913 your Dad was born all ok at Hot Springs S.Dakota. We were so happy and the folks came out to Ranch or we would go down to our RR Station which was Moorcroft.
