Amusements And Fruit Trees

About that time, Jim obtained a pool table somewhere and we set it up in that double room on the ground floor. It was a regulation sized table with a slate base and we enjoyed it very much.
That room was used a great deal. Pop often sat by the window with the homemade radio and earphones. Tom had made the radio and it was the wonder of the year. A crystal set with "cat's whiskers," a sliding station selector bar, etc. Later, when we moved to the North Wales farm, we took the pool table with us and used it for several years until we needed the room.
Up behind the house there was more orchard. There was a plum tree that had fruit that we called green gages. I guess that was the name of the variety. Also pears, apples and cherries "oxheart cherries." I remember falling out of one of those cherry trees but I was not seriously hurt.
