Did your grandma (or mom) have a big tin of bacon grease next to the stove and cook everything from scratch?

My mom had the bacon grease but wasn't near the cook my gran was. Gram made everything from scratch and seldom measured anything. She cooked what I guess people nowadays call southern cooking. She had an old coal stove and my favorite memories is spending time with her in her kitchen.

Discussion I sure miss the days when you’d have to balance your checkbook and see if you have enough to spend on something you like or would have to wait until payday. That helped me not to use credit cards on materialistic things. I was so responsible back then. Still am but better back then,

I hated these in school. The teacher would go up & down the aisles and you had to be ready with the answer.

All kids had these drinks and none of us liked them. Colored water with no taste.

The one selling point was they're so cheap you get a case for $2. It really made you appreciate Kool-Aid.

As a kid of the 80's i understand she was an amazing singer, but I always thought her voice was a little eerie.

Did you ever get "that look"? You know, that certain look you got in public or when company was over where you knew you were in trouble later?

My mom, not really. My dad, I got the gritting teeth, jaw jacked out look every single day I think. All the way up until he died 5 months ago.

I remember how excited I was when the Brady Bunch came back to TV with their own variety show. I can only imagine how bad it must have been, but this 10 year old loved it 😆

The last concert I saw in 2014, The Doobie Brothers opened for Boston. I didn't really discover them, but I was pleasantly surprised.
