"We put bread bags over our shoes in rainy/snowy weather in Illinois when I was a kid back in the ‘60s. Stores used paper bags back then, so there weren’t as many plastic bags around. "

I was a kid in the late 60's in Illinois. We didn't have bread bags in our house because grandma baked bread. We did have rubbers to put over shoes so we must have been "filthy rich"

Did kids tease you based on the brand of bread bags you wore? or if they matched? Imagine the horror having white Wonderbread on one foot and whole wheat on the other!

Never had a problem (that I can remember (that was a looooong time ago)) with the bread brands.

My grandma lived in Michigan. Oooooooohhh...did she make GREAT homemade bread.
She's been gone 32 years. My cousins and I still talk about her bread, on a regular basis.
No one has been able to come close to making it, even using her hand written recipe.
We figure she used a special ingredient, no one else could replicate.
LOVE.
