[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1252038, member: 16769"] True -- someone worked outside the home. But they had chickens for meat and eggs, cattle for beef and milk (not many -- a few), a huge garden, and then whatever they could grow for crops. This would have been late 50's, early 60's, in my childhood. I remember my mother buying milk and eggs. Pretty sure some of that was in trade at my Dad's small drug store in Selby, when cash was short for people. And Dad would help weekends, running farm equipment at local farms, which might have meant some beef or pork to us, in addition to his hunting for pheasant, deer, and antelope. And fishing in George's bass pond near Glenham, which was a family thing we did often with George's family on weekends. Movies cost a dime then -- I remember. That's what my weekly allowance was. Television shows were evenings: Mostly musical stuff, Lawrence Welk, Perry Como, Andy Williams. If one of those came on at 8:00 (our bed time), we went to bed an hour earlier, and then got back up to watch. Cartoons on Saturday morning. Otherwise, we didn't watch TV. [/QUOTE]
