@loriemerson Barbed wire! Instant memory was from age 7, playing hide-and-seek in the dark with sibs and friends, and being painfully surprised by running into a barbed wire fence. But there is a sweet memory from that night: The loving face and gentle hands of my friends’ mom as she sat beside me, disinfecting and taping up my tummy as I rested on their sofa. She and her family were already dear friends, but that event is one of many etched in my heart about the late Ruth Aukamp Schaffenacker. #FarmLife #RuralAmerica #Illinois #BarbedWire #BarbedWireFence
Found the juxtaposition between the name of the street and the barbed wire along the building funny. Are we trying to keep people out or children in? πŸ˜„
