Did you make your own butter too? Some of our relatives did. But never did that either. My Dad was in the 2nd WW until I was about 9. Since he ws injured, he then went to school, then went to work in newspapers from then on. During those years we lived with my grandparents in a little town called in central Iowa, not to far from Des Moines, who were not farmers. Many of my dad relatives were, but ot my mothers. They lived around the Winterset area, which is the area the movie Bridges of Madison County was filmed. Which of course, brought back many memories for me. Watched that movie several times because of that. Most of my closer relatives no longer live there, many of them no longer alive now. Those were the good old days for me now. Which I know everybody says. Remember my parents saying the same thing. I think you and I are pretty close to the same age. Not sure how old you are exactly. But guessing, would say your in your 60's somewhere at least.
Vince, you remember Beloved that used to post on Marges forum I am sure. Do you know what ever happened to him? I lost his address in a computer crash, and of course, mine changing over time too, never heard from him again after that. Just thought I would ask.
All of this interesting info. That is what I can understand anyway.
Love ya much,
Sandy
