Click on my name on one of my posts, then click on "all articles." I've only written two. Read the one called "Blue's Tips and Tricks to Raising Chicks."

Only one that shows is, find all threads. Last one being on Cornish hens, chicks.

The History of 'APRONS'
I don't think most kids today know what an apron is. The principle use of Mom's or Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids..
And when the weather was cold, she wrapped it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, she walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.
Send this to those who would know (and love) the story about aprons.
REMEMBER:
Mom's and Grandma's used to set hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.
They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron.
I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love

I saw this the other day on fb. My grandmother always wore an apron. I can also see her comfortable black shoes she always wore.

Tomorrow we go back to St Louis, home leave for The Kid starts. He's home now till Jan. 7. I'll probably be doing more of the driving than I usually do as we'll be taking my "new" car. I've named her Tilly Ann. I really like her!

Or fear of your spouse...

drs said Tom would be a vegetable after his surgery from a stroke , If he woke up at all. I said this man still has work to do. After the surgery they came and got me and said he made it thru it but was unresponsive.I said Tom, Tom, TOM! We have to go pick Robert up from school. He roused up and moved like he was trying to get up. I knew then he would be ok. Drs were amazed and I call him tomato head even today. Drs just dont count on will power and other things like prayer.

Yes, I had my daughter go to the pharmacy for the medicine they give you for Covid. The price was 1400 dollars. Can you believe it? I said no thank you.

Good grief Charlie Brown!!!

Gatherings for Christmas is not looking good. One thing I'm seeing now with Covid is the lack of panic. When even vaccinated people are getting it there is no headlines of doom and despair that I see. Of course I don't see any MSN anywhere. All I see any more is mostly right here.

People are so burnt out from covid maybe it’s just not selling stories anymore.

Yes, in a little box it says find all threads. But above that it just says threads. Click on that. Should be the second option over, under the graphic.
