“We were all spoiled rotten.”

I feel the same way in the grocery store. “I have to PAY for this?!” Most of the members in Dad’s church were farmers, and how they supplemented his salary was with eggs, fresh milk (gross - still can’t stand milk), and produce. Not much meat.

Bushels of veggies and fruits would be left by the door. Mom always had plenty to can that would last the year.

At our house we had grapes, peaches, pears, cherries, and currants.

We thought we were poor (we were) and pitiful. Now we know we were spoiled in that regard.
