Hi Shirley, We still get milk delivered to our house. [Massachusetts] Before we had delivery, we used to get our milk at a small local dairy. My kids got to milk the cows and watch the whole milking process. This dairy also sold the milk that was not homogenized, but they didn't have the bottles with the small area for the cream. They also had the best cream, because it was not ultra-pasteurized. Shady Oaks in Medway, MA They closed a few years back - I miss them. When I was growing up, we got milk delivered, but the milkman put it in a box, not in the house. This was in Rhode Island The same company still delivers milk there - Monroe Dairy - Now they have trucks that are painted like cows. My brother & I would always nag my mother to get the chocolate milk. In RI, we also got our eggs delivered. Now we buy our eggs at a farm.

Thanks once again for giving me something to pull up out of my aging memory banks and reminisce about... Our milk man was our Daddy, bringing in a bucket or two of milk warm from the cow, with little globules of butter floating on top it was so rich.,...I can remember seeing a horse drawn wagon delivering milk when I first started to town school....one of those cute little boxy wagons..all enclosed...We made our own butter, and Mama also sold cream to the cream station in town. She would keep it in fruit jars in the fridge till she went to town...This is several years after Dad died...as we didn't even have electricity in our area or a refrigerator to plug in during his time...Power lines came through there about 1947... Must tell you this...Hubby's cousin was acquainted with the entertainer Stuart Whitman, and tells a tale on him. He went hunting for Mountain lion and brought one home to have mounted. Tired from his drive he decided to put the body in the fridge in the garage till the next day. The milkman opened the door to put the extra milk in it and out tumbled a mountain lion! I don't remember if he ever returned or not! Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````.

Sounds like you've been busy this year, Dougster! It's supposed to get down to 2 tonight...and I feel sorry for the homeless ones and those who have to get out in it and work...Our heat pump drones on, keeping it more or less an even temp in here, so if I don't force myself to go outside I don't notice it much.

So you ended up with enough rocks to make a lot of work instead of insisting they put back what they dug out, huh?

Weasels or mink will just eat the head of a chicken they've killed...What you gotta do is get there faster and eat that chicken while it's still usable..lol .The possum MAY have killed the chicken...Hope it did, in this case...those buggers will eat just about anything...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sun, 5 Jan 2014 14:41:08 -0600 Doug Crim <ddcrim@gmail.com> writes: > I'd do something about it if I could...

My family also had the milkman deliver our milk. My Mom especially liked the cream on the top of the bottle of milk and would pour it off to save for her coffee. When we had a special dessert, the cream would be whipped with a little vanilla and some confectioners sugar for a pretty and delicious topping. Other times the milk would be mixed with the cream and enjoyed as really rich milk used for drinking or for making puddings or junket. (remember that?) The milkman also delivered fresh eggs, butter and other dairy products. The Dugan man - bread man in our town in New Jersey, had bread and coffee cakes. My grandmother lived across the street from us and she and my Mom would have coffee klotches with coffee cake or some homemade crullers. We all looked forward to the day the crullers were made! When my children were little, we also had milk delivery. The insulated metal box was placed by the door with the empty bottles picked up and the new milk bottles replacing them. Very convenient and really didn't cost a lot more than going to the store. We also had milk machines that we used when the kids were older. Milk was available any time of the day or night. Quarters in the slot and the milk carton was dropped into the box, lift the lid and you had milk for the cereal in the am. We actually could have milk delivered in our area now, but, our milk usage isn't that great and we are able to keep our supply in the refrigerator when we need it. Mom really liked having the deliveries and loved those coffee cakes! And she was always the skinny one in the family, go figure!!

When we first moved to town in the early 40's, we had a milkman. For a while before my brother went in the navy he was on the truck delivering milk. I found a bottle at an antique store and bought it just because of the home delivery and that he had worked there. I don't remember if it all stopped during WW2 because of the gas and tire shortage or when. I remember the glass bottles. Cream on the top. After we were married there was a dairy close by we could go to and take a gallon jug and get milk. Now I don't think they can sell it like that because of the pasturizing or something like that. Seems like it was 50 cents. That was the early 50's. When we moved to the country, had the cow, we had more milk than we knew what to do with it. Good think we were all skinny. made alot of puddings, with four kids it was eaten, also made ice cream, lots of gravys with things. Thank god only one cow. Also had chickens. Fresh eggs. It was fun. But now just go to the store and buy a plastic thing with the milk. I am glad the kids had the experience of living like that. They had the horses. Raised the calves, experienced death with the animals. Had there pony's. They had fun. That is what it is all about. Louise
Oh yes Sully I remember the milkman, the ice man and the baker. They all came three times a week and I think that is why house wives back then were not lonely because every day someone came to the house.

Hi Lana, In some places the wind chill was -60. Many years ago, we had -40 actual temp. That was before windchills were invented. It seemed like it was always on New Year's Eve, when we were snowmobiling, that it was -40.

Did any of you ever have milk delivered to your house ?? When I was a child, both my grandmother and our home too, had a milkman. I remember the milk bottles, they had a small area at the top, that held the cream, my mother would shake the bottle, so the milk was than whole milk. My grandmother liked the cream in her coffee, my mother didn't, after shaking the bottle of milk, she than used it for her coffee. After I married my husband, the milk man his parents used delivered milk to our house, he was given a key to the back door, he put the milk, cottage cheese, butter, right in the refrigerator for us, we both worked, we weren't usually home when he delivered. I can't remember who set that up, to give him a key to our home, I would never do that in today's world that's for sure. I have a whole set of Aluminum colorful glasses, that use to have cottage cheese in them, they were also delivered by the milkman. When we moved to our new home, (where we still live) we had a milkman for a few years, but I haven't seen a milkman for years, delivering milk to any of the homes in our neighborhood !!! The closest thing to a milk man around here, is a small dairy store, it's like a drive through, they do sell other things too. When my granddaughter was a baby, I some times would go there for bread & milk, the cost was a little more, but I didn't have to get out of the car, it was worth it not to get my granddaughter out of her car seat, and than back in, I remember my back use to hurt, after having to get her in and out several times a day. They said last week, maybe a little rain this Wednesday, but not now, no rain in the next week , but do have lots of wind (not windy here yet). We are under a wild fire watch, until all this wind stops. We finished taking down all the Christmas decorations yesterday, you wouldn't know that a few weeks ago, we celebrated Christmas. The living room looks bare now, I need to find something to make it look pretty !! Maybe go to "Michael's" find a nice flower arrangement, or something colorful. We have a blood test, and two doctor appointments, in the next two weeks. I hate doctors, they never give us any good new's at our age, if I am doing good, than my husband is not doing good, the he's doing good, and I am not !!! Sully, in Sunny California.

In my world it is only 3 degrees. Wind chill of -12. About 6 inches if snow. We have been asked to do no driving. So I am at home snowed in. Two days ago I worked horses without a jacket. I love living in the plains. On Jan 6, 2014 8:30 AM, "Doug Crim" <ddcrim@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd do something about it if I could...

I'd do something about it if I could... Here in the Grate State of Texas, it's been quiet a roller coaster. High one day, low the next... Yesterday was quite warm here. In the 70's and very comfortable. I actually got out and racked the detritus from a recent plumbing problem. The plumbers had to did a ditch and they left a ton of rocks. Knowing that sooner or later, I will drive over that area with the lawn mower, rock gathering was a must... Of course, this morning it was 30-degrees with gale force winds. No rock gathering for me today.... Lost another hen yesterday. This time I found a carcus (sp?) the hen was intact except for it's head. Whatever it was ate the head and left the rest... Grrrrrr Later in the day I put cat food inside a live trap and this morning had the biggest possum I've seen in a while. I just returned from carrying his dead body off and re-baiting the trap. I'd like to think he was my problem but we'll have to wait and see. Everyone stay warm and dry and enjoy the rest of your weekend. The Dougster :-)**
Sully, I can’t believe it. We are looking forward to daytime high temps in the 20s and overnight lows in the single digits. And this is for Georgia. I really feel for all those in the northern states looking at daytime highs in the teens – below zero! Tomorrow’s game at Green Bay is predicted to take place in temps no higher than 0, with wind chills as much as 15 below! Just about our whole country is in the very deep freeze. And you are talking of getting this urge to go out and do some gardening!!! California, the very southern region of Texas, and the southern portion of Florida are about the only places that will not be affected by this arctic freeze! Sully, you just don’t know what you are missing! Enjoy those little hummingbirds and butterflies and little yellow roses and flowers in bloom just a little bit more for those of us who would love it if we could do so also!!

It's bright out side, thinking of maybe doing a little yard work, but than maybe not, I have plenty to do inside here. Went to Kohl's yesterday morning, with my Kohl's money, bought two set of Queen sheets. They are 800 count, a Ivory color,I think I will be very happy with them. When I put them in the washing machine a few minutes ago, they are heavy and yet very soft. I am washing both sets, can't wait to put them on our bed, new sheets, yea !!!! I bought a set of sheets on line early last year, they said they were 1000 count, but they weren't, way to thin, and didn't laundry good. Going to take that set up to the cabin later this year, they will do good up there. All my older sheets, and towels go up to the cabin, I am always thinking if something happens to them, than it will be no loss to me, or at least very little. I went to the web cam up in the little town were our cabin is, and there's no snow up there right now, but they are saying maybe later this week, might get some rain here, and snow up at the cabin. We need rain, every one envies our sun and heat, but there is the other side, drought, and that means a water shortage this summer. I told my husband we need I to start buying mulch, if we have another drought this summer, we will need lots of mulch to keep the water from evaporating from around our plants, because we won't be allowed to water very much !!! I keep telling my husband we need to get rid of the grass in our back yard, plant vegetables instead, kill two birds with one stone, no lawn to mow, and vegetables for the table !!! We planted a new Lemon tree, right in back of our old Lemon tree. A while back we noticed our Lemon tree wasn't doing very good, a tree limb looked like it was dead, we sawed it off, it did good for awhile, now another limb is looking bad, the tree is maybe 25/30 years old, we found a new tree at out local Farmers market a 25 gal, same kind, Eureka Lemon tree, so we bought it, planted it and it's got several Lemons on it now, so when this one goes, we will still have lots of Lemons. I keep getting this urge to go out and work in the garden, but it needs to rest a little from the summer heat, don't like to get out there and prune, and get all the leaves off the ground, I think the ground befits from all the leaves and coolness. I have had to water some, our Avocado tree is blooming again, I think all this heat has made the Avocado tree think it's spring, I hope if it blooms, a big hard rain or hail doesn't come along and knock all the blossoms off. We also have some plants that flowered, lots of Hummingbirds and a few butterflies too. It does look pretty out there, we also have these tiny yellow roses on the arbor, and they started blooming last week, I couldn't believe it, they don't usually bloom till May or June, this heat has every plant out there thinking it's SPRING !!! Making some Chicken and dumplings for dinner, and with what's left will make some Chicken salad. Have a good DAY where ever you are and what ever you do !!!

It is not as cold as it was yesterday here-when I got up this morning it was minus4 degrees! The sun did come out and the walks and streets are very messy-mix of slushy snow and sand! I cleaned some and took laundry to our laundry roon(have to go outside to the laundry area here) so tracking sandy stuff in and out-a mess! I have just about had it with winter and it has just started! I once loved snow andcold-but i am old and cranky now and do not like it at all. Laundry done but now I need to vacuum again where it tracked in on wheels of cart and my boots! My sister (younger) is in hospital and besides the bronchial pneumonia they have found she has a viral infection in the lining of the sack around her heart--she had terrible chest pain and discomfort. I just came from her house, took in her mail, straightened up for her (the ambulance took her out early yesterday morning) so her computer and stuff were on and her mailbox was full. Lots of sickness around-seems like I hear a lot of people passing out or fainting in stores. Wonder if ventilation problems or illness-have never heard about so many passing out. I may consider going to visit my youngest son and family in Texas next winter---this cold weather is not for me anymore!!! Sully is so lucky to be in S.California and have fruit trees and green stuff around all year! I have never seen an avacado tree in my life and I love avacado's-can't imagine picking them fresh and eating-must be the best! I know the citrus fruit I get from cousins in AZ. every February off the trees in their yard is unlike anything we can buy here, so fresh, juicy and wonderful citrus smell! Guess I need to get the sand off the floor and put the laudry away!! Have a great weekend!! Helen in snow, ice and messy New England

Got all excited when I saw the frozen flakes a flying...Granny picking her geese, they used to say. I told Bear it sure looked like a person could put a big pan out there and soon have enough to make snow cream...Rattle, rattle, was the next sound I heard as he wrestled a huge pan out from under the sink...Sigh...Went back out to check it later after the skiff of snow fell, and there wasn't enough of the white stuff in there to make a spoonful! Guess the wind blew it all away...Sigh...NOT COMPLAINING, FOLKS! I've already seen enough snow to do me a lifetime, and Breyers is still making ice cream fit for the Squire, last I heard . HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL ! Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
