  1. I just love looking at these old photos from "back in the day".....

    "Honest weights and square dealings".....ya can't ask for more than that! :) Who needs a catchy title? Get right to the point..."An old reliable house mover"....gotta move? You know who to call.

    Life just seemed so much simpler back then........I miss that.

  2. Yes, life sure was much simpler then. I wish we still lived like that. Too much confusion and problems with all the new inventions. "Back in the day" is for me.

  3. 25¢ a basket? Now $2.50 each. We're considering making our own bread anymore like Carol does & starting a garden again so I can can more. I can't wait to retire so I'll have more time to do this. Good ol' days are gone for good but thank goodness I learned a lot from my mom & dad.
