–(PR.com)– Vicky
Treimer,
who
enjoys
writing,
home
improvement
projects,
sewing,
crocheting,
painting,
baking,
and
cooking,
has
completed
her
new
book,
“Horse
Hitches,
Draymen,
and
Icehouses:
The
History
of
Moneta,
Iowa”:
a
stirring
tale
that
combines
personal
recollections
with
historical
research
to
bring
to
life
the
history
of
Moneta,
exploring
the
quaint
small-town
life
of
the
Midwest.

Treimer
writes,
“Silence
engulfed
me.
The
warmth
and
wholesomeness
of
yesteryear
embraced
me.
I
stood
quietly
on
the
main
street.
The
sound
of
the
Rock
Island
train
could
be
heard
in
the
distance.
The
train
whistle,
the
locomotive
shuffle,
and
the
smokestack
release
joined
other
familiar,
audible
sonances.
For
it
was
the
sounds
of
horse
hooves,
horse
hitches,
and
squeaky
wagon
wheels
that,
ceremoniously,
were
entering
Moneta.

“And
it
was
just
like
yesterday.
I
breathed
an
aroma
that
once
prevailed
in
the
General
Store.
I
remembered
the
penny
candy.
It
brought
a
smile
to
my
mature
face.
I
recollected
Grandpa’s
memories
of
the
penny
beer.
The
playground
was
the
biggest
ever!
The
railroad
pump
car…family
baseball
games…turkeys
off
bank
buildings,
and
the
largest
family
imaginable!”
writes
Treimer.

“Oh,
to
relive
them
again
was
not
far
away.
They
remain
in
the
realm
of
my
memory.
Like
nothing
else
in
life,
they
are
so
deeply
cherished.
And
so
these
memories
and
the
untold
history
of
Moneta,
Iowa,
are
shared
with
you.”
