 I recall my mother turning off all the lights of the house,
closing the drapes in the windows and covering the radio so that the
glow from the vacuum tubes wouldn't be seen from the street as our
town went through an air raid practice during WW II.  No malls, no
microwave, no frozen foods.  But, oh!  The delicious odor of canning
tomatoes in the fall and the mouth-watering taste of hot, fresh
tomato juice before it is put into the glass bottles!  And visiting
a local parishioner's farm, getting to scoop up the foam from a
bucket of newly-squirted milk still warm from the cow!

And you left of ration stamps and saving aluminum foil and bacon grease to
take to school for the war effort. Didn't we get savings stamps for that to
save for a war bond. Margarite who is 62 and getting better all the time.
