My Youngest Aunt

Aunt Esther Marie was in her 20's when I was having warm sweet milk on homemade bread and sleepovers in big feather beds of the Meinking farm. Growing up I was fortunate to have beautiful handmade clothes sewn by Grandma and the aunties. Esther loved to take us kids into the parlor (which by the way, was the coldest room in the farm house) to sing with the player piano as her feet pumped the pedals for the music. We sang songs like the Red, Red Robin and the Woodpecker Song. There was always lemon balls/hard candies in the glass chicken perched on the buffet hutch and warm popcorn awaiting us in the kitchen on the wood burning stove (the warmest room in the house). Thank you Aunt Esther for the fiend memories and gentleness. I will miss you. Your niece, Joyce Marie
