Description

NOT BY A DAM SITE, Memoirs of a Modern Nomad, humorously mirrors family life when home sweet home might include a new addition to the house or pitching a tent in out front for mom and dad's privacy. On another home site, the modern nomad family moved into a fourteen-room farm house, big enough for the three kids and a pony. One move put the family of five in a thirty-two foot travel trailer, which posed unique challanges for moving-around space and intimacy.No matter where the Kime family hung their hearts as they followed Jim from dam site to dam site, there was friendship, adventure, and growth. Sometimes the children were growing; sometime the cabbages and tomatoes.Locations for this thouthful memoir of a family relocating with each new job Dad accepted varied from the green grass at the spreading New York farm to the barren desert of a new town called Page, Arizona where Peggy Kime landed herself in a top grossing movie production. Remote living in a river valley fourteen hundred miles north of the Canadian border offered clever ways to teach life's lessons and learn excellent geography skills. The story documents all the weird, but charming, days in the lives of the nomadic Kime family.Huge company sponsored parties planned for all the employees were hosted in one small mobile home. The party trailer was emptied of Lazyboy Loungers, sectional counches and even the kids' beds. Neighbors stored the furniture for the night and smaller children were paired with older kids so everyone was safe and cared for.Through all the moving and making new friends with each new location, the three children grew and developed with the consisteny of love and discipline from their mother. Jack moved through grammar school and high school into West Point. Sandy finished college and moved out of the nomadic life. Kevin, always the friend-maker, lived and learned from all the locations.Peggy Kime says the best place to raise your kids is definitely not by a dam site, but with a little humor and lot of love among them, they emerge unscathed.
