I can remember when my grandma would make me dresses out of feed sacks, and my friends didn't have any like mine. We lived in town, but my grandpa's sisters lived on farms, and grandpa would tell them to save enough for my dresses. They were originals!!! I remember my friends liked to eat at our house, roast beef, chicken, and all the trimmings, and they didn't have those foods at their houses. My grandma made soap in the cellar. Come to find out we weren't poor just frugal.
