Lamenting the Old-Fashioned — 3 Comments

  1. I am a cheesehead. Where are your relatives from?

    My family is tight knit. We get together for games, camp fires, etc. So, I can’t say that we have lost any traditions.

    But I will say this: my wife and I are going out of our way to start traditions with our 2 daughters.

    I’m sure a lost tradition will hit me sooner or later.

  2. This morning I realized I should have also asked if there are any special traditions you’re maintaining or establishing.

    My “immediate” family is in the Madison area. Others are in Milwaukee. A little further back, they’re from Baraboo and “up North” — I believe the Mellen area. I also have a cousin in Janesville. My maternal grandmother had a cabin on a lake up near Hayward for many years. I love Wisconsin and Iowa, but I married a Texan, so I’ve become a naturalized Texan.

  3. I’ve only known one of my grandparents, the rest passed away when I was too young to remember them.
    But my grandma could sure cook and me and my sisters have hounded her always for recipes and stories. I hope we got them all because she passed away about two years ago…
