Re: what we grew up on was (kids)

[Guest guest]

i grew up on homemade breads cakes pies cookies graveys mashed potatos, home

grown garden stuff, grean breans peas sweet pickles, pickled beats, cucombers,

lettuce, tomatos, croc(yellow)squash, zuekennie squash speggit squash, you name

we grew it, rabbit meat, dear meat, chickens, we had our own cow, she gave about

5gals aday of half and half, so we had our own butter, cream, cottatge

cheese,milk, and such, we had pigs so thats pork meat, dad made the best homade

fudge, we had kringles for christmas, divinty, we picked and shelled our own

pecans, and then we started getting bulk stuff from the bread stores, most was

fit for humans just out dated, we would freeze the good stuff and feed the rest

to the pigs. i weighed around 125 in kindergarden. if the stuff would have been

in moderation, it would have been ok, but with the lack of medical care and

knowlege we just ate and ate ourselfs sick. we did not know about gentics

diabetes a whole lot then, and even thoug i am only 37, fyi, i did not know

about inside bathrooms in homes till age 12, or a gas cook stove, we had a wood

burning stove, mom cooked on and it kept the house warm in the winter, running

water came from an inside pump in the kitchen, we would heat the water for

baths, so am old if you want to call it that long before my time, the music is

kitty wells, hank snow, and the like, the rock was and is big boper, dion,

elvis, the supremes, and so on, now you know how me and my 72yr old hubby get

along so well, i still have a old horse drawn plow, and push not gas, lawn

mower, an old hand bottle caper for homade root-beer. now thats enough about how

and what i grew up on any one else
