Well I'm definitely "Older than Dirt" because I remember all of them. Will turn 69 in Sept. so you can see I'm "Older than Dirt". I remember when we got our first refrig. before only had a ice box. All of the ice was purchased at the Ice House in town. It was really quite neate to be able to make your own ice in the trays.
How about going to the movies for 12 cents and if we had 25 cents we could get in to the movie, buy box of popcorn, and a coke to boot.When the price changed to 25 cents to get in we thought our world had caved in. Boy have times ever changed.
We always walked to and from school as well unless the weather was really bad, then Mother would take us. We usualy came home for lunch, and if we did eat in the school Cafeteria, it was 25 cents a tray with as many helpings as you wanted. There were NO Free or reduced lunches then.
I definitely remember the wringer washers, I got my thumb and hand caught up a couple of times in the wringers. We didn't have a T.V. until 1959, then only b/w and 3 channels. We always listened to the radio. We did have a Dairy Mart in town for Hamburgers and fries, but that was a special treat. We almost always ate at home- can't remember going out to restraunts unles we were traveling on a trip, then often had sandwiches in the car, that Mother made to take with us, would occasionally stop at a Hamburger place if there was one available.
I had never eaten a pizza until I was in college, and had never really heard of one until we moved from Tx. to W. Va. in the late 60's. Now Pizza and fast food places are a way of life for most.
So many memories. Thanks a bunch.
