Biscotti! I had forgotten all about that. I have never bought any but I see it at the store if I am in the right aisle. Someone, I have forgotten who, gave me a lot of it for Christmas one year and I liked it. Several different flavors in the box. None of them dipped in chocolate however but tasty just the same.

I remember my Mom using the heated curling iron on my hair. She would hold it over the gas fire until it was very warm, test it on some paper to make sure it wasn't too hot. When it was only mildly warm she would wrap my hair around and hold it until it was not real warm. She would take it out and I had nice curls. I do remember getting burned with it a time or two. I have the curling iron mounted in a frame on display. My daughter and granddaughters find it hard to believe my hair was curled with....that thing.

When I first moved to Albany, I had just gone to a tea one of my friends had given in her home. Everything was so good and she had so many different teapots to serve tea with.Each person had their own individual teapot. I had thought about giving a tea for several months but was still in the planning process. Down here, I thought my daughter could helpme and we would try giving one. I wanted to buy several teapots first though. She has several pretty cup and saucer sets so that part was no problem. Of course, it neverhappened. I received an invitatiion from a Lutheran church to go to a tea last Saturday but the invitation got buried and I forgot about it. I think it would be so interesting to go to one again.Emma > From: helenware@comcast.net > To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 22:46:21 -0500 > Subject: Re: [ML] Liver and lights at Ma's... > > Elaine, > I enjoy all kinds of tea----I have several teapots left from collecting > them for years-but I gave most away! > Every year when you make a donation to Public Television one of the gifts is > going to a formal English tea at a hotel in Rhode Island on a Sunday > afternoon--it is such fun to get all dressed up and enjoy the fancy fare.

  Remember that I said that Central Florida needed rain.  Well we got it during the night.  The thunder sounded like a bomb going off and that set my dogs to barking.  It came down in buckets but only for about ten minutes and then it stopped and started up again.  It was as if we had three cloud bursts.  The rest of the day was beautiful and the temperature was in the high 60's and sunny.  My kind of day.  Annette.

WOW! Juanita-Seventy years is a long time(more years than I am old)God bless you both! My Mom's parents had a most wonderful marriage like that-they were married over sixty years when she passed away! They did everything together and they danced and won trophies for the beautiful waltzes they could dance-she bought pretty dresses and shoes for these dance competititions! Gram never drove so they would go off shopping together and go to different stores, eat out and have fun. He complimented her for every meal she cooked and every pie she baked-they were the model couple to us! I was sure when I married my life would be just like that--but after thirty four wonderful years of what I thought was the perfect marriage-my husband ran off with his office manager and my heart was broken! So I really do admire all of you lucky couples that have been together for many years and still enjoy each others company. Helen

That's like one time when my granddaughter stayed over a Saturday night with me. She was about 10 yrs old and she and her mother both had natural curly hair. My hair is straight as a board if I don't curl it. That Sunday morning I rolled my hair up on hot rollers and had come to breakfast with them in my hair.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVE. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE MARRIED ALMOST 63 YRS, WHEN HE PASSED AND I FEEL SO LUCKY FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF THE TIMES WE THAT WE SHARED TOGETHER===GENE IN TX.

You are one of the lucky ones ,Neysa! I love to hear from happy people-so many complain and whine about spouses etc. I think it is so healthy to be happy and have someone to share with. You and Sven are blessed! Helen

Elaine,The only mugs I remember as a child were the big shaving mugs that held the soap for the men to lather up to shave! We had matching cups and saucers-coffee cups and saucers were bigger than the china tea cups and pot(the family never used anything but loose tea on Dad's side) my other grandma did use tea bags sometimes. The mugs for coffee came in the 1960's , I think-not really sure. I know we had small cups that came with the dinnerware we got for wedding shower--the first mugs I had were made by Fire King(if memory serves me ) they came in green, blue or white. I still have a few along with the green soup bowls and platters from long ago! I remember the older folks always dunked doughnuts, toast and cookies in their coffee and tea--now I don't know anyone that dunks!!! Helen

And i love to dunk doughnuts!! I am not literate in Dining in great restaurants.. Fact is i got toast with every meal while every one else had pie, cake or ice cream. With my glass of milk i dunked my toast. Only one person said any thing about it but he would suck out his false teeth after every meal that gagged me to no end. But i paid him little mind because what i was doing was not making any one sick. Viola.

I retired a year before my husband and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I left the house shortly after he went to work @ 7 AM and walked 3-5 mi. every day before noon. Then if the weather was really nice, I'd go another couple miles in the afternoon. I had all the hours enjoying the air, seeing friends, thinking and planning the days my husband would retire and all the things we could do together. This was in 1984 .... he retired in 1985 and we began researching our family history shortly thereafter. We traveled in our camper or van over 300,000 miles the next ten years....visiting all the places our ancestors had lived. One year we went from the central part of the US to Maine and Vermont and then back across the length of the country to southern California. Stopping at court houses, libraries, genealogy societies, newspaper offices and any place that looked interested, we compiled tons of information. The time we spent at home then was spent writing a book and researching via the US mail. I can honestly say we've never had a moment we didn't enjoy together.....even with inclement weather or disappointments that some things didn't turn out as planned. We thank God for our health and the ability to enjoy each day. I tell everyone to enjoy life ... the years fly by much too quickly. I'm thankful for every moment - the marriage my dad once told me would never last, will reach 70 years next year. We'd do it all over again. juanita > I hope you have many years of retirement...Hubby has been hanging > around bugging me full time for more than 10 years now.........and has > finally settled into getting enough' make work' to keep him fairly > busy....I had a horrible time getting used to not having any alone > time at all...and THAT still bothers me....I have my own room, so can > spend all the time I want to in here...Going to bed any old time, > getting up when I want , and lying down for a nap as needed are the > perks....Jeannie T > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, > 28 Feb 2011 11:09:39 -0600 <ddcrim@gmail.com> writes: > My > bride is on her last day on the job.

The only time I would take a walk after John left for work was after I retired in 1987 and he was on a job in Santa Barbara CA. After he left for work, I would walk the beach, going a couple of miles.Going cross country searching for genealogy would be a good trip. He wasn't that interested in genealogy at first and he had had such a bad childhood, he didn't want to go to his home town. I went there after he died, and got the information.Have a good 70th anniversary. I hope your kids give you a really bang up celebration.Emma > From: juanita2@cox.net > To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 17:20:15 -0600 > Subject: Re: [ML] a day's work/retiring > > I retired a year before my husband and thoroughly enjoyed every > moment.
