She said, Every time you look at it you'll remember that you had to compromise. I told her No, everytime I look at it I'll think WOW I finally finished that one and it's a beauty----and I do.

I remember her saving a smallllll piece of the flour,sugar and feed sacks to match for a quilt. I even remember (as an a side) getting dishes out of Quaker Oats boxes. lol. Thank God for our nice shops,Joanne,w-m and hancock. jolo

We never got candy except for Easter and Christmas so even though I didn't like candy corn and bubble gum I'd eat it but those Circus Peanuts were too horrible even for a candy deprived kid to choke down.

Circus peanuts--I didn't have a dog so I choked them down myself. I did however make some interesting "drinks" with circus peanuts...I couldn't drink them but one brother did. Sometimes I just dunked them in water and sucked on them. Those orange slices, I ate them, but the coarse sugar would tear up the roof of my mouth! I guess I was a Beeman's Gum girl, Juicy Fruit, Chicklets and of course Bazooka BGum for the comics girl. Great. Now I'm hungry!
