Fredtime Stories: A Mostly Rural Life
Fred Liljegren was born during the Baby Boom. He grew up in the Cold War and came of age during Vietnam. Raised in rural Minnesota, he milked cows during the farm crisis years and witnessed the decline of the small dairy farmer.
We all live history in our own unique way; how we respond to the barrage of life is what makes us who we are. In Fredtime Stories: A Mostly Rural Life, readers take a walk through the fields of the family farm, foreign shores of military service, the halls of academia, and home again, as described by Liljegren with wit and wisdom, story by story.
Fred and David met while serving as substitute teachers at Parkers Prairie High School. Fredtime Stories is the most recent of a number of projects they have worked on together.

If you know Fred Liljegren or are from/know the Parker’s Prairie, MN area, this book is a MUST read! If your not, still give it a read, it’s great. A series of short stories about Fred’s life as told by Fred and sometimes Dave.(I could picture them telling me these stories as I read, and all I can tell you is I laughed out loud countless times).
I loved reading this book, it brought back a lot of memories from my own childhood growing up on a dairy farm. I also laughed so hard when I read a part about my own brother, The Rocket man.
Thank you Fred and Dave for this book, I look forward to reading part 2!
