I would have also made a terrible pioneer, but it didn’t stop it from being my favourite imagination game as a kid – we played “Olden Times” aka pioneers and for some reason believed that our staple food was corn meal, which we apparently ate by the bucket load (corn meal? really? did I even know what that was?)

My grandparents had this sitting-room-basement filled with decorative 1850s-era farm equipment (the coffee table was an adapted butter press, etc.) which totally made the most awesome pioneer setting for make believe… too bad we weren’t allowed on the couches. :)

Thanks from warm California.
