Wow, this topic has been completely dead for a year. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. And if you celebrate a different holiday, have a good one of those, too.

I have been hearing so many lamentations on how bad the year was. Was it really? Seems we have much more to be grateful for than anything else. {#Meditate}

"Merry Christmas! And a few stories from my dad who was born in 1933.

He was telling us and our daughter about life back in those days. He told us they had no electricity, used oil lamps for light and cooked on a wood cook stove. They had to gather the "stovewood" from all over the farm. He said sourwood trees were always good for the cook stove.

Their bed was made of corn shucks. Everyone pitched in to fill up a large mattress (thick cotton sack) and then it was sewn together. Washing clothes was a real chore. Water was carried from the branch up to the big black pot to be filled up. Then the fire was built to heat the water up to wash the clothes. Of course after that they had to be hung out to dry.

The house was an old log house and daddy said you could see the chickens running under the floor. It would get so cold in the house in the winter that water would freeze on the hearth. Of course they had an outhouse for restroom. Daddy said you sure didn't want to go out there on a cold winter night.

His summer job he started when he was 11 years old on Saturdays and in the summer. He cut timber with a crosscut saw. That was some really hard work he told us pulling that saw back and forth. Christmas presents were usually apples and oranges. It was really wonderful listening to his life as a child.

Be thankful and enjoy the holidays."

I had no idea this show existed. So Mr. Ed wasn't the first talking animal on TV.

I just watched a clip and it seemed like light, silly fun.

Bassets are a bit goofy but they'll put a smile on anyone's face.

It was exactly that. Jackie Cooper was one of the stars of the Our Gang series from way back when. One of the few child actors to successfully make it into adulthood as an actor without any major problems that befell most others who tried to make that transition.
