Stood on the boat and watched the mud dry! I remember all of those plus: Grandma making homemade cottage cheese, rendering the lard after butchering a hog, Saturday night baths in a large galvanized tub, free movies in the depot lot once a month, drive-in movies, and the best of all---penny candy from "Honk" Mumm's gas station. I even remember 27 cents a gallon for gas.
I even watched Elvis (only from the waist up) in his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.
Anyone remember Gertrude and Heathcliff? Red Skelton?
