oh boy am I older than dirt also. my husband and I both got them all and then some. I loved the clove gum also. how many of you remember. lye soap that your mom and grandma made to wash clothes and bodies with, the big black kettle in the backyard they heated water in over a fire to wash clothes, the washboard was their agitator to scrub the clothes clean. the pot belly stove in the middle of the room as the source of heat, the sink to wash dishes in was a enamel wash pan you filled with water from a well that had the bucket and rope so you could haul the water up from the well. there are many more childhood memories that drew families closer together for all worked together and spent more time together than we do these days. thanks for reminding me of days gone by. there were many precious memories.jan
