Hot Weather Relief
This 100+ weather – we are having – reminded me of the day , we, “Orphans”, were treated, “Royally.” In the late 1940’s, as regular as clock-work – 12:00 noon is dinner (big meal of the day) – 12:30 pm done -dining-room kids do dishes – clean tables and set-up for 6:00pm supper meal (very light).
All the other kids – get ready – changing back to school uniforms – prepare to resume classes on second floor – start time promptly at 1:00 pm. We are no sooner settled at our ‘Desks’ in the classrooms – when all the school children are told to go back to the dining -rooms??
Would you believe – a local, Ice Cream Factory, had to unload all their Ice Cream – due to a refrigeration break-down? Each child, could have a whole quart or whole pint of “Ice Cream”, in the carton and keep eating any size brick by brick.
My brother, Denny was able to “Help Out” – and really enjoyed “Helping Out!”
