Yep, I am older than dirt…I remember everything posted except for picking cotton in the fields. Reading everyone’s post have brought back lots of wonderful memories….. but how about: Gas street lights; Coal stoves and retrieving coal from the dirt floor basement; The water closet over the toilet; Listening to the old crank phonograph; Writing your name and drawing in the ice that formed on the INSIDE of the windows in winter; The religious altar in your bedroom; Walking over a mile to school; Riding a bicycle (shared by eight siblings) with balloon tires; Playing kick the can and Chinese Checkers; The ole Grange Hall harvest fair; home perms; Wearing starched hand-me-down dresses; The ice man, milkman, and bread man delivering to your home; The rag man; Minstrel shows at the Town Hall; Jack Benny, Perry Como and the Kraft Music Hall; Playing the spoons, to name a few more.

I'm older than dirt for sure. i remember every one. the milk bottle delivery was a stretch, but grandma had her milk delivered that way. we were toooo pooor.

believe it or not, i learned to drive on a studebaker. lime green. Dad always called it his 'lemon'. because he kept having to replace the transmission. but he didn't know the boys were drag racing it. can you believe that?

I just remembered this one - remember when you would make a fist and put it on a steamed window or frosted window and then put five little touches with your finger above it. It would look like a baby's foot and we would make tracks all over that looked like a baby walking on the windows. Try that one in school!!!!! Edie

remember the coal cinders that we poured some secret ingredients on (one of which was bluing) to form a colorful forrest of crystals.....oh yeh the bluing was added to the rinse water when doing the laundry to make the whites look whiter. and then there was the comforters made with wool that were so heavy you couldn't move when you were covered with them. I remember more but some weren't so safe.
