I am old enough to remember when ice was delivered to your “ice box” to keep your milk cold. I even remember it delivered by a horse drawn wagon!

Any body remember that?

Yep! My grandmother would order only half of a 25 lb block of ice, which went into the top part of the oak ice box. The iceman would cut the blocks with his ice pick.

Ice picks...no one knows what they are any more. My mother had an assortment of ice picks and church keys in a can on top of the fridge.
