56 soon to be 57 here. All of the above plus having to go outside and then the antenna. Waking up during the winter freezing to death because you didn’t sleep with the propane wall heater on. Big dang attic fan and sleeping with the windows open at night. Our beds were next to the windows. Listening to the Rosery every morning in French. All the family sitting on the porch and all the grownups would only speak French. One of the biggest things was going to Grandma and grandpa’s house in “town” and we’d get a cup of Dr. Pepper and a hand full of Nila wafers. And the Dr. Pepper was in the long tall skinny glass bottles that you had to use a bottle opener on. Well anyway I could go on for hours.


It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
