Show Low

In 1923, the family moved to Show Low after trading their Lakeside property for a place in Show Low. Apparently, not everyone in the family agreed with moving to Show Low instead of Lakeside. This was primarily because they liked Lakeside so much. But, Mother said they had some great neighbors and friends in Show Low. One of the neighbors was Peg Reidhead. Mother's parents bought a piano and while it was still on the wagon in front of the house, Peg came over and played some beautiful music on the piano. After she left, Mother sat down at the piano and played one of the songs Peg had played. No music or noted, she simply played it by ear. This was her first experience with playing the piano. She was able to play songs by ear all her life.

In 1924, Mother was baptized in the river there in Show Low. The weather is normally very cold in October, but on the 4th, it turned out to be a nice day for her baptism.
