<p>Martha Howald grew up on a farm, and she loved spending time with her dad.</p>

<p>Even when he was loading manure onto a spreader, there she'd be with a little pitchfork, doing her part to clean up the mess from the cows and hogs.</p>

<p>During summers, the family would often go to Lake Erie, where they'd fish and spend time on the beach.</p>

<p>In fourth grade, she was thrilled when her older brother returned home from the army and started dating her favorite teacher-Miss Hill. The two would end up getting married, and Martha couldn't have been happier.</p>

<p>Seeing her grandparents was always a treat: Her grandma would make delicious, thick maple syrup to put on biscuits, and her grandfather always kept candy in a little dish. These small things meant a lot.</p>

<p>During her senior year of high school, she began dating a boy named Frank, who would become her husband of sixty-four years. One day at baseball practice, she walked by, and he took his eye off the ball, losing a tooth as a result.</p>

<p>Join Martha as she recalls funny moments, challenges conquered, and lessons learned over a life that's been not-so-politically Correct.</p>
