Remember when? I do, I did, only we had only a wicker basket. Grandma washed, for 8 kids and grandpa, who had minors asthma we call black lung today. She worked at the local Shirt Factory in LaFollette, TN.

I also washed cloth diapers and fatigues in the bath tub, because the

Red Cross would not loan a poor E3 a dime if they had an emergency that ate up their reserve money, like a repair to the ONLY car. and we went hungry for a few days to boot. Only the baby was fed.

Slightly different wording but it fits well. Meryl and Bonnie did this one.

Great opening!

I remember 'back in the day'! :)

The old man next door had a truck like that but it had side boards on it. Thought nothing of all the neighborhood kids riding in it.

Thanks for the memories!

Good morning, Gail.

Ahhh .... the good ole days ... Right!

I washed cloth diapers and hung them on the line to dry.
Everything smelled so sweet after hanging in the sun and a soft breeze.

Life was harder but also much simpler .... a good life ... lots of sweet memories.

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Good morning, Teenie.
Happy Military Monday. God Bless our men and women in uniform.

Today in Military History ...
Thursday, April 30, 1942

In the Southwest Pacific... Japanese carriers, Shokaku, Zuikaku and Shoho leave Truk for the Coral Sea to take part in Operation Mo, the invasion of Port Moresby.

In Burma... British forces destroy the bridge at Ava after retreating north of the Irrawaddy Valley


For more info on today's history, please see today's Military History

Remember our veterans.

Have a beautiful day.

I loved the opening today, Amy. Love thinking of the good old days. Thank you three!

I plan to post later. I've been into making good old spaghetti sauce and I'm going to eat a meal.
Its 2:00 here so what meal this is, I'm not sure but I am very hungry!

Feeling pretty good. Still have some abdominal pain which will clear up over time. Slowly gaining back some of the 35 pounds I lost during the chemo treatments. I'm so skinny now a strong wind will pick me up and move me down the road. ;^)

No calls from tests yet, they can't seem to find them. Surgery is supposed to be Wed morning. They have had since Thurs to read the test. They have left me hanging in HIGH STRESS level all weekend and it is now 1:30 PM Mon. And when it concerns your heart that is even more stress. Time is fast running out. I am in tears from the stress, which has triggered a full blown Fibromyalgia attack.
