| As a preacher's son, I loved this time of the year. Of course I was always in the line putting things in bags. I loved the smell of citrus. I believe that was the only time we and the cotton mill workers ate oranges and tangerines.That is some of the best memories as a PK for me.Thanks for dusting off the memories, RR Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| I appreciate what you share about the bags growing up and how it was the only time that cotton mill workers ate citrus. I am assuming the reason was not being able to afford oranges, tangerines and other fruits at that time. I am fortunate because I did not have those hardships growing up but my parents did live through the depression as children and shared many things with us about being thankful.Can you summarize what's a typical week of meals may have been growing up? I am not asking for a day to day menu but whether what one was eating or even other hardships that you are grateful to not experience now can be a help. I regularly share with young people how good we have it now when they think they have a hard life. Many are amazed when I explain Herbert Hoover had a campaign motto of a chicken in every pot. They laugh when I explain it often meant being able to cut the head off, watch it run around, clean it cook it, not go to the restaurant and order it. I could always use more examples. |

| We usually have a Clementine orange(?), nuts, hard candy, and chocolate--about what we had when I was a boy.One of my dear memories was that we gave out the Christmas treat bags on the Sunday before Christmas. Then, either that day or the next morning, our family would head from Tampa to Cleveland. Because there were usually a few bags left over, we would take them for snacks along the way. Unfortunately, I focused most of my energies on the chocolate. |
