1964 I painted a steeple of our church for $.50 an hour while the priest (God rest his soul,became a life long friend.)hollered up to me. "If you fall I will bury you for nothing". Nice guy eh!

Dani, thanks for bringing up "Joe's" name. I meant to respond but forgot.
Joe, you should have sold those lovely species as fertilizer. We grew great gardens with them.

This thread idea came to me from a movie I watched two nights ago called " A Home of Our Own". Watched it on "Netflix".
Got choked up often as it brought me back to memories long forgotten. There are some really great lines in this movie. One that stands out is "When your really really poor, everything you see you can't have"
