And, my dear, you sent me scurrying to "Google" Pam and Jerry North radio. Oh, rapture, that there was such a thing. Now I'm wondering if anyone saved those and if they are available somewhere! You are a treasure.

Seeing your name, or a comment from you or just thinking of you makes me feel like I am receiving a warm hug. You have a place in my heart.<br /><br />Thank you for celebrating Pink Saturday with us this week. You are like a beautifully wrapped present finished with swirls of pastel colored curling ribbon. You're too pretty to unwrap, but too hard to resist what I find inside.♥Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535622044396271722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-3716639474980291892013-05-27T21:34:59.367-04:002013-05-27T21:34:59.367-04:00I see these in antique stores and never knew they ...I see these in antique stores and never knew they were that old. They make cute candleholders.

My daddy tells stories about collecting rainwater in barrels and how it was "run" into the bathrooms for use. The had well water in the kitchen for cooking and that house was always filled with yummy cooking smells. They might have not "had much" but love and laughter were in abundance in that home! Thanks for taking me right back to that little white home and such sweet memories.<br /><br />DonnaDirty Martini Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722749061096190920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-11934715033122186112013-05-24T22:37:40.455-04:002013-05-24T22:37:40.455-04:00Hi Rachel, I have enjoyed your recent comments and...Hi Rachel, I have enjoyed your recent comments and I have wanted to write to you this past week. However,time flew by and now we are in Florida for two of our grands who are graduating from HS. I was happy to see you joined in for Pink Saturday.<br /><br />The vintage light fixture is so lovely. I wouldn't touch it either. The patina from age is what makes them so charming. I only remember no electricity at our grandfather's hunting cabin. We vacationed there many times and there was a well pump inside for water. Outhouses as well. One was named Paris for the girls and France for the boys. The cabin was built in 1937. It is still there and has electric but the outhouse is still the plumbing. I love your family stories so much. I remember my great grandparents on my mother's side. They vacationed in FL in the winter and stayed in tents. It was where we are right now in Kissimmee when there wasn't much here but warm weather. This was in the early 1900's. I have a photo of them all dressed up in chairs in front of their tent.Victorian dresses and coats and ties. Amazing. Our family stories are treasures we must always remember. The best part is your stories are written down for the future generations.<br /><br />Good night my dear sweet blogging friend. Happy Pink Saturday.<br />Love, Jeanne<br /><br />Your family story sure tells about the times when life was not as easy but oh how the memories make us smile.jeanne, backyard neighborhttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-11263265982223504302013-05-24T21:41:05.678-04:002013-05-24T21:41:05.678-04:00Thank you for sharing.
