We were taught some important lessons by our parents, such as..
..."THE GOLDEN RULE" Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you!
..."MANNERS" -We said Please and Thank You. We addressed adults as Mr., Mrs. or Miss. And adult relatives were Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, and Uncle.
.."PRAYERS NIGHTLY"- Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen..
