THEY FOUND MANY WAYS TO SURVIVE DURING HARD TIMES WHEN I WAS A YOUNG CHILD. I GREW UP WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE AND YET I REMEMBER THESE YEARS AS FILLED WITH MANY GOOD TIMES AND FAMILY CLOSENESS. I DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE THAT THERE WERE OTHERS WHO HAD MUCH MORE MATERIALLY THAN WE DID.
AS MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER AND NOW GREAT GRANDMOTHER I HOPE TO SHARE WITH THEM AND OTHERS SOME OF WHAT MY CHILDHOOD TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIVING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES.
TODAY I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST. LISTENING TO THE NEWS I WONDER OFTEN IF TIMES WILL AGAIN GET AS TOUGH AS IN THOSE DAYS IN THE 30'S.view less
