We had a great time taking "The Warden"s grandmother to the Balloon Fiesta in ABQ - back in the mid-eighties.
She oooooohed and aaaaahhed all day!
Born 1896 - died 2000 - age 104.
Used to hear stories of living in a half-dugout, wagon travel, cooking over "BS coal", and many more.
She shot her father-in-law, just "winged him", though. Didn't WANT to kill him, just make a point!

I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
