John Wesley said that sour godliness is the devil's religion, and I really believe he was right. So, go ahead and be silly . . . I do it all the time. And you might be interested to know that the word "silly" originally meant "innocent" or even "blessed." It came to us through Anglo-Saxon and is related to the German word "selig." In the meantime, Robin, congratulations, and have fun with your new baby. I hope that the delivery was easy!

Kittie, My mind is gone I meant I was going to ask my children what funny things I said. I'm your Mom's age, and was going to ask my children not my Mother. . Hmmm when the mind goes it goes fast sometimes. D. I remember rolling those cigarrettes that way for my folks. No wonder I smoked, no one talked about the dangers in those days. Great Chesterfield people. However I haven't smoked for over 25 yrs. maybe now I should get a pipe and go sit on my rocker.

Hi all, Glad you enjoyed my story about mom and her cousin. It was a great reunion. Since then both have passed but Mom was so happy to find June again. Here in Pa I think the best Hot Dogs are Tobins. I won't eat anything else. I had a ShopRite close by for awhile but they left town. Acme is gone. There are only two supermarket chains near me.........Price Chopper and Bruno's. It is amazing how we can connect with family members thru the web. I was so frustrated for a couple of years and then I would read someone's account of a great find and think "I'll never make any connections". But I have and it's great. Just recently I found our gr gr grandfathers, gr gr grandson in Calif. And most recently a first cousin of my husbands that we didn't know existed because he was put up for adoption right after birth. It is just so great to find them and give them your side of the family history. Have a great weekend all........................Ellen

Norma, My grandma made the best jelly, apple butter, and preserves I ever teased. I remember her rolling her own cigarettes with one of those cigarette machines they sold during the Second World War and smoking them from a long cigarette holder. She also used a small lady's pipe. I believe my sister still has it. She also had one of those cigarette box's that had a bird on top, and when you wanted a cigarette, the bird would dip it's head into the box, and pull one out for you. Anyone remember those? Diesel.

Hi Norma, Did ever bring back memories of my Dad, he said zink for sink, earl for oil, terlet for toilet. My brother and I would make him say it over again until he said it the New Jersey way not the New York way. Betty, researching: DILLEY, HOCKENBURY, DEATS, THATCHER, TRIMMER, all from Hunterdon Co,.

Betty and Diesel, Guess its a common thing, didn't think anyone else said those words. File the floor really got to me when I thought about it the other day, but at the time never gave it a thought. My Grandparents were really old time farmers, my Granny smoked a corncob pipe, wore long dresses and I can see her in a rocker yet, smokin and rockin. My smokin was behind the barn with dried corn silk for tobacco. I loved going to their house it was a fun place. The food was good but not what I ate at home. I remember the Cornstarch Pudding, her cakes were flat ones, no icing. Toasted the bread on a coal stove lid. In the winter there was a pot on the stove it had onions in water, and the longer it was on the stove the thicker it got. They used it for colds. Their lunch was stuff from the garden, tea and a lot of the time Corned Beef from a can. I didn't mind I ate it.
