A fascinating reflection back to those day...Hi Ray,<br />A fascinating reflection back to those days of the 1930's. I suppose, to some degree, each generation refers back to an earlier time as the good old days. Sometimes I think of the 1970's as the good old days. Then I remember having to cash in pop bottles to get some money for food. Still, it was a learning experience and I think it has made me more resilient and resourceful.<br />Thought you should know that Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star, has bestowed an award upon your superb blog. She tells me that you in no way should feel obligated to acknowledge this. We leave it up to your good self.<br />Enjoy your weekend. I'm going to have a hot chocolate drink. Bloody cold here!klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443336523425451069.post-29233373235791758002012-02-04T08:14:35.328-05:002012-02-04T08:14:35.328-05:00Cameron
