[SE Mom]

Amazing, isn’t it...

My mom used to tell me about rationing- and how ONCE in a blue moon they would get a little real butter...it was like winning the lotto...and they gave all their iron beds too..

What a country!

My grands lived in the countryside so they were able to can lots of stuff.

To earn extra money for Christmas they would go out pineconing. They got something like 5 cents for every 100 pine cones they collected.
