More about my childhood

I am back- writing about my childhood...

 I was born in Birzai, July 5th, 1925. Had an older brother Jurgis Vaclovas, born 1923, August 17th.

 We moved to Utena when I was 2 years oldl My Dad worked for the Lithuanian Goverment- was a Controler of two Lithuanian states.

Mother was very involwed in scouts, school commities and all kinds of womans clubs. My Granmother ,Stanislava Prialgauskas lived with us when my Grandfather died. Sche was very educated lady, Spoke 5 languages, played piano= so did my Mother. That was a rare thing of the women in that time.

Utena was a small town in NEof Lithuania, surounded with lakes and forests. I started camping with the girl scouts when I was 7.

 Almost droned in the lake. We actually lived on the hill by the lake- and I lerned to swimm and boat very early in my life. We used to swim across the lake all by ourselfs, like 3 girls, 7 years old= no life gard, no boats near y- do not know how we were alowed to do this- ut those were different days. 

 Mashrooming was the Fall family ocupation- we all new which mashrooms were good to eat. They dried it, Marinated it- lasted all Winter.

 Before I go any further, very important member of our family was our house keeper, Liaukadija Stonaite, From Rietavas, zemaitija.

 SHe actualy was much more then tarnaite- but I found out about it only when I was 14 . Will write abbout it tomorrow,.
