Sure the worlds problems were there like any generation but it was a slower paced life and simpler in many ways. <br />I love that first shot!<br />My Mom still has the only table we had. It has the typical chrome legs but actually has an oak top. I love it. <br />Thanks for memories this afternoon.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-25546275729963125522013-06-14T12:57:25.602-04:002013-06-14T12:57:25.602-04:00we had a table like that in our pantry way. held a...we had a table like that in our pantry way. held all sorts of stuff like pickling jars, cat and dog dishes, veggies waiting to be canned, etc. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-28162941371382261502013-06-14T12:46:44.299-04:002013-06-14T12:46:44.299-04:00Well I'm old enough to remember such delights....Well I'm old enough to remember such delights.
