Believe it or not I forgot about them, but yea they did come by the farm time to time when I was a kid.

I remember that mom had made arrangements with the local (Nichols) bread delivery guy who normally only delivered factory to stores, he'd stop by once a week with 20 loaves for our family.

Well,
there was 6 kids, and believe it or not we'd some time run out. That did not include the biscuts on a fairly regularly basis.

Ya should have seen the garden, if it hadn't been for that and the milk cow, we'd been plenty hungry...Tater diggen time was real fun, on good years I'd dig around 60-70 bushels ...didn't have a tractor, all the work was done with horses.

Course we was WV Hillbillys, I'm transplanted to TX 20 yrs, rest of the family is still in the hills.

Murf,
I gotta say I bow to the elbow room yall got, but I bet I have a lot less feezing temps here, and my bones can't take the cold like they used to, although it was 22 degrees this am, but expectin 50 by noon and warmer tomorrow,

even better as far as TX there is a saying, if you dont like the weather, wait an hour...ain't far from true,

last friday was close to freezing, on sunday I was out in t-shirt hiking through the campground.

KT, you are right we was bone thin then, not so much now....

RJ
