I also live on a lake, and while I sit here at my computer, I see and hear the waves splashing. It has become my favorite sound. I have become a follower, and even though I've taken a bit of a blogging break myself, I wouldn't miss these wonderful posts.

MY SECRET IS OUT....!
LOL!
I guess that ...OH NO! MY SECRET IS OUT....!<br /><br />LOL!<br /><br />I guess that was all before my time (smirk smirk!). We got all of our groceries from store down the road. I was a city kid, ya know. My memories are of the Avon lady making her bi-weekly stop at our house and I would sit at my mom's feet watching her try on different colors of lipstick and smelling all the pretty lotions. The Avon lady always wore too much perfume, though. <br /><br />My dad taught me how to mow the lawn with one of those rotary push mowers, and clipped the edges of the grass with one of those hand held dealies. I also loved helping my mom hang the sweet smelling laundry outside with those neat old clothes pins. <br /><br />I remember my poor dad standing out in the back yard in sub-zero weather icing down the skating rink he made for us. He even made an ice slide with the picnic table! :)<br /><br />And I also remember the first time I met you, dear friend! :)<br /><br />Love ya, sis...and thanks for the sweet, sweet memories today... :)<br /><br />xoxo laurie@heavens-walkHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-21513297634238121022010-07-27T10:24:00.638-07:002010-07-27T10:24:00.638-07:00My Uncles and grandfather were milkmen.

We lived in town when I was very small before we moved to the farm and had a milkman, a paper "boy", diaper service that came to the house, and potato chip delivery guy. They came in a big can! The milk box sit by the back door. If we were bad playing outside we had to sit on it until mom said we could get up. Those were the days!<br />xxxooo- TeteTetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697150195734655635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-14668307616446664102010-07-27T07:42:21.700-07:002010-07-27T07:42:21.700-07:00Love your blog!

I put milk in some quart canning jars last week (we had a plastic gallon catastrophe) and even my 14 year old daughter started reminiscing about milk in glass bottles (that she never had either) and asked if I could put it in the jars all the time lol!Debi WeeFaeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919851556990275511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-84731230542375636542010-07-27T06:11:00.333-07:002010-07-27T06:11:00.333-07:00Hi Debbie,

One of my favorite memories of growing up was searching for new kittens in our barn. I would spend hours out there looking for them, and playing with them all summer long. And enjoying ice cream floats at night, too!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819485082242629764noreply@blogger.com
