REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time
GRAND PARENTS
Electricity and plumbing was installed during the 1930’s. The
telephone was a large box hanging on the wall. It rang like
Morris Code. A combination of Short and Long rings.
People would answer to their code ring, except when it was
Grandpa’s then everyone answered to hear what was
happening.
The sewing machine had a treadle, which by four I was able to
coordinate, but didn’t do much sewing. It was a rugged
machine. Years later I’d used it to sew several canvas pieces
including a sail cover for our 29 foot sailboat.
