My childhood

We spend each Summer a month at my Granparents Prialgauskas in Zemaitija and a month in Smilgelius, the farm near Panevezys that my Father inherited from Laurinaitis family.  I will talk about it later. We were braught up on organic food, fresh air and nature. It was an ideal childhood. Both my Mother and Grangmother spoke 5 languages, played piano, were gourmet cooks and were real ladies. At that time it was a rare thing- I was very proud of my family. I was the 5th generation that lerned to play on the same baby Grand that was passed on in the family. Our furniture were all antique- I hated it at the time! Now I would treasure it!

 My parents were very progresive, modern gardeners. Used to get seeds from Holland, grew corn, all kinds of vegies and our flower gardens were fameus in town. People use to come on Sundays just to walk by and see them! Mother used to cut some , make bouquets and make me deliver to her friends.
