That's what tells me too.. floor was so cold your feet cold stick

to it.. they lived in an old " company house " the registers for the

furnace were downstairs.. not ductwork to the upstairs.. so what little

heat that went upstairs migrated.. lol.. and I'm pretty sure the wind

whistled through the cracks in the walls too.. no insulation..

By the time I was born and old enough to stay at grandma's house.. they

had retired and bought a little " house trailer " as they called it.. and

that had central heat and a tiny tiny spare bedroom.. and diluted

evaporated milk for on top the cereal.. which always happened to be corn

flakes.. funny how those were the best corn flakes ever too! Had my

choice of those or " coffee soup " .. usually for breakfast..

The lady next door, who saw me off to school at the beginning (1st, 2nd

type deal).. breakfast was either toast & tea.. cinnamon/sugar toast &

tea or on really good morning.. potato cakes.. if she had left over

mashed potatoes.

Memories...

Guess I was just a spoiled kid.. thought an outhouse was a treat...

don't remember floors being cold and having to have slippers for my

feet.. or sharing a bed or bedroom (course that was cause I was the only

girl in our family)....
