When I was a little girl we use to see Aunt Freda every summer. I have fond memories from those days. Once I slept over at her apartment in downtown Boston. I had never been to a big city. It was so special. We went shopping and she bought me a bathing suit. I treasured that suit for years. Another time we were at the farm and a group of people with me tagging along went out looking for a lost cow. After we found her I was so tired and Aunt Freda gave me a piggy back ride all the way back to the barn. I was so happy to have been allowed to go on "the adventure." She will always be a part of my summer childhood memories.
