Grandma and Grandfather Goodoien were quite a pair. We lived in Hendricks till 1944 so I spent some time with them. Grandma was a tough cookie. If she said sit, you sat and stayed there till she told you you could get up. She was wonderful in the kitchen and made the most wonderful meals on an old wood range with the water cistern on the side. Christmas was a feast of food. Lefse, blood sausage from the pig slaughtered in the Fall, Norwegian delicacies that I cannot spell anymore. Maybe that is where I got my love of food. Grandma never threw anything away that had another life to it. Old coats and suits were ripped apart for quilts and rugs. I remember one Spring, she 'turned' her last years bright blue coat to make me a coat. It was the prettiest coat I have ever had. She had a back yard of garden. One whole side was a strawberry patch. I have a picture of she and I think Lu Jean picking the harvest. She canned because home freezers were not a convenience at the time. I admired her house wifery so much. All of my memories of that home are good ones. Cozy and comfort. I have very fuzzy memories of the dry goods store. I left Hendricks when I was 8 1/2 so all of my memories are of before that and when we went back to Hendricks in the summer. When we left there, Hildreth had the cafe and was the best cook in the whole world. Cakes from scratch and everything was home made and delicious. It was a wonderful town to grow up that far.
