Jeannie T., That sounds like some of the stunts which I pulled as a kid. When I was very young, I 'thought' I had scratched up our porcelain sink because I had washed out some of the pans & they left marks on the sink. I was sure that the sink would have to be replaced. I finally fessed up & admitted that I had 'wrecked' our sink. My Mother didn't say a whole lot..just took out the Comet & it came right off. Whew!! Was I relieved!! BTW, I also had an Aunt Pearl too. When we would go down to the farm to visit relatives in IA...Aunt Pearl lived down the road from my cousins. She was a sweet old lady. The most I ever saw her do was sit in her rocking chair & smile when us kids would walk down to see her. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "jkaywojack" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 9:34 AM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Aunt Pearl's new "Fridge" > What a funny story about the "fridge", love it.
