I remember that old container. When we were very young, my mom mixed half powdered milk, half regular milk to save money - so we always had a container like that filled with milk for us to drink. It was narrower at the front than the back. this was taken in 1965 when I turned 4- almost 50 years ago! I'll be turning 54 in 8 days - my how the time passes! BTW - I learned to sew when I was five, on the old Singer 201. Good thing it had a knee pedal because my feet didn't reach the floor. I remember hooking my foot around the leg of the sewing stool to have enough leverage to push against the knee lever.
Yesterday DH got the a good start on running the conduit, and hopefully he'll have the display room wired by the end of this week. I'll be pumped if I can celebrate my B-Day by moving some sewing cabinet out of my kitchen! Then I may have room to make a cake without bumping into sewing machines!
