I have some candy cigarettes on my computer desk.

53 is still a sprout! I was almost married when you were born!!!!!! Whipper-snapper!!!!!! Remember Gabby Hayes?

The idea of sprinkling and then putting the folded/rolled in the refrigerator was to keep it from molding. I would wrap my stuff up in a terry towel and in the winter set it outside the back door. Funny, no one ever took it!!!!!!

I remember the Edsel and the Tucker! Edie

I remember helping my mother hang clothes outside in the winter to freeze dry them. When they were brought in the next day, our jeans would stand up on their own. They were so stiff. lol The wringer we had, we had to pour water into it, the only hose on it...was for draining. Then we had two wash tubs for rinsing...liquid fabric softner was in one.

Remember when we didn't have washers and did the laundry in washtubs and scrub boards. Boiled the whites in the wash pot

I too am older than dirt. My older children remember a few of these things but the GKs think it is funny when I tell them stories.

When I was a little kid we had a big black Hudson Jet, no radio, no heater, straight shift of course......after that we got a NEW 1966 Ford something......plastic seats, no radio, think it had a heater, two door.....we drove it for years and when I turned 16 my foster parents gave it to me, which was awesome !
