in reply to @dorisjeanne Your comment about rationing brought back to me something my friend Joyce and I have discussed many times. She grew up on a farm and was raised by her grandparents. During the war members of their church would drive up to the house with their lights off, and her grandmother would walk out and give them the butter she had made that day. She has also told me about their outhouse where the Sears catalog was used for toilet paper. This went on for quite some time. I remember my mother telling me about their "ice box" and that food was kept cold with ice. In today's world with so many conveniences, so many take for granted things like refrigerators, heaters, indoor bathrooms and things of that nature, which is why I have a lovely print on my living room wall that says; "Nothing For Granted."
