cute and pudgy

I am still trying to figure out how to use this thing. I just picked a picture and tryed to get it to post. Hopefully I will remember what I did.
Wow what a cute family. This is my Mother, Jimmie Lucille, my Daddy, Buford Raymond Price, my sister Patricia Kay on the left and the cute little pudgy one on the right is me. This picture was taken in March of 1950 making me 2 years old and Pat was 4, my mother was 26 and my dad was 33.
We are standing in front of the first home that I remember on Barron Street in Waco, Texas. We rented this house until I was 5 and my parents bought a small house on Pine Avenue in Waco.
One memory that I have of this house is being on the front porch and it was raining, My sister and I were coloring and I got mad at her and threw the colors off of the porch and got a spanking for it. I remember getting spankings frequently. (Sound familiar?)
Another memory I have is laying in my crib (which by the way I was still sleeping in when we moved to the new house) and being afraid of animals being in the room. I just knew that if I faced the wall, they wouldn't get me but if I turned away from the wall, they would. I remember laying there and being afraid to turn over but eventually falling asleep and they would be gone in the morning.
I remember one Christmas and some people brought us stockings full of fruit and nuts. Fruit was not as plentiful as it is now and was a real treat especially oranges.
There was a fence at the back of the house and a little girl lived on the other side. We always wanted to play with her but weren't allowed to. Not sure why, I will have to ask my Mother if she remembers it.
Some things change and some things stay the same, pudgy then, pudgy now but still cute.
