We either lived on a farm and produced our own everything or lived in a small outlying town. We moved a lot, actually. Seemed like my dad was always running away from something or running to something he never reached.Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-91158534316090663782017-08-23T09:36:56.157-04:002017-08-23T09:36:56.157-04:00thanks Meg! ooh bread delivered by bicycle?? awe...thanks Meg! ooh bread delivered by bicycle?? awesomeJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-68090992827335324942017-08-23T09:27:54.943-04:002017-08-23T09:27:54.943-04:00Oh Joan, there are so many gems in this story.

When we were little my Grandmother had a carnival in the field behind her house. I loved to sleep with the window open and listen to it at night. I don't remember going; I will have to ask my sister if we did.<br /><br />We had neighbors growing up that used to buy from the "Awrey" truck. It was big and brown and they used to write the specials on it with white paint that could be washed off and repainted for the next day. We did get milk delivered for awhile; but then it got too expensive.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555524232243452021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-21697714708336129562017-08-22T08:04:55.945-04:002017-08-22T08:04:55.945-04:00It was my older brother who had the chips (and the...It was my older brother who had the chips (and the hard pretzels they sold) delivered to his first floor bedroom window! He had gotten a job at the golf course and decided to use his newfound wealth on snacks but was not so inclined to involve the rest of the family...thus, the private delivery arrangements. Seeing that guy knock on the window on the driveway was hilarious!Barb Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153693296869611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-32596830311233723962017-08-22T04:06:24.467-04:002017-08-22T04:06:24.467-04:00it still cracks me up to think folks had chips del...it still cracks me up to think folks had chips delivered, but now everything is delivered!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-55896782827151868632017-08-21T18:21:05.889-04:002017-08-21T18:21:05.889-04:00This brings back such memories for me....we lived ...This brings back such memories for me....we lived similar childhoods in many ways and I can relate to every bit of this, all the way down to the Charles Chips truck and the Catholic school fairs.
