Air conditioning! I remember getting dressed for Sun school and the sweat would be running down my face, that was in 1961. We got air conditioning sometime in the 60's when I was in college. When my brother and I were very young, we slept in twin beds in the same room. My mom would sit between the beds and fan us until we fell asleep. What a gem, she did so much for us, always putting us ahead of her feelings.

We also got a whole new dining room suit...the pretty early american maple...long table, eight carved chairs, and hutch with ipen top. It was so pretty...probably was Ethan Allen, cause I saw them later. Sometimes in late years, when my first children were teenagers, she gave it away, when we helped her build a small house,that had a living and dining combination room.Life did change for me and for my Mother...after my Dad passed away at age 38. But those early years stay with you. And Mama kept most everything that we had...except the mules, horses, ect, we couldn't handle the big farm after my brother left for the CCC. but she kept a cow to milk until I was about grown. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
