Welcome to the thread.

I must have missed this one, or I am indeed older than dirt.

“Burma Shave” signs on the roadways.

How I loved those Burma-Shave signs! Would read them and giggle and giggle. Didn’t take much to amuse us on a trip. Hot weather, no air-conditioning, mother would distract us by having us keep watch for another sign.

Delaware, sure glad you tried the dried squash for us, and doubly glad it was so good. Love chips and dips, so this will help keep the waistline down. Will be trying some soon if it will just stop raining. First time in 77 years that I can remember having a wood fire every morning for a week in July! Pulled a few weeds yesterday at the edge of garden. Weeds came up with a clump of mud and the hole it left immediately filled with water.

The price of hay for our minny horses will be exorbitant when and if the farmers do any haying.
