When I went to visit my guardians parents, they boiled their clothes outside in a large tub and hung them outside. Also had to boil water to take a bath on Saturday night. I lived through the depression and remember rationing but we too were never hungry either. I remember our first TV in the early 50's. We would gather around the radio to listen to the various stories, like Amos and Andy, The Green Lantern,etc.. Never missed a baseball game or prize fight. I could go on and on but this is about YOUR grandmother. Keep up the great work!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178185732783437728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110335572470669971.post-16592030318817071162014-01-17T21:32:56.025-08:002014-01-17T21:32:56.025-08:00Oh My!
