Some of her towels and washcloths were like Swiss-cheese and you were not allowed to throw them out. They were still good! Flat worn out pillows were the best because fat new ones hurt her neck. Vacations were spent buying trays of canned goods that they grew up eating and didn't have access to at home. Yes we received canned goods for souvenirs! Whenever I would call to check up on her and my PaPa, I would always have to have the best going price around on gas. He compared and searched for the best priced gas. He would sometimes drive 5 miles out of the way to save .02 My MaMa hoarded canned food, paper products, and old towels.

You see, my favorite doctor told me to sip one tablespooon of the juice of peaches in heavy syrup every fifteen minutes to help calm a stomach after throwing up. It worked like a charm through three pregnancies and has really works with my kids. Still, I keep my peaches in the pantry.

Hilarious! I forwarded to all the lovely women in my life.

She opened the lazy susan cabinet, kept spinning and ripping labels off cans. We ate mystery foods for a while....wasn't so funny at the time. I mean, a meal with beets, pork-n-beans and evaporated milk?! blech....(she also took all the tags off Christmas gifts one year so my big ol' brother in law opened some cute thongs and a camisole.....he looked good in them!) But yeah.....and I am a hoarder to a degree. It is that danged AARP card they sent me last year, yes it is! However, I just have mine in plastic bags on the dining room floor. At least it is CLOSE to where one would actually eat, right? Carla, my daughter did that to me when she was a toddler. She opened the lazy susan cabinet, kept spinning and ripping labels off cans.

My daughter and I repainted my mom's kitchen several years ago and ended up placing somewhere around 50 large bottles of "New Coke" on top of the cabinets for decoration after scrubbing them in a big wash tub on the back porch. Of course, they had never been opened. My dad was a hoarder as well. The soft drinks and the toilet paper...but nothing could compare with the soap. He had drawers and sacks and boxes of soap. He was a minister and in one Sunday sermon he was quoting I Thess. 4:13, and instead of saying "we sorrow not as those who have no hope"...he said , "we sorrow not as those who have no soap." My mom and I of course were trying to keep a straight face and failing miserably! It turns out that his mother made soap during the depression and sold it to have some money to send him while he was away in college(1934-38). So whenever soap was on sale...he bought it. My brother and I will have an inheritance of soap. Does soap have an expiration date?? I have so enjoyed reading all of these posts…and I can identify with them as well.

I find that the elevation was perfect for keeping the feet swelling to a minimum. I also knew some people that would take the labels off of ALL their cans of food and have a "surprise" for dinner. yum!
