It was August 1944 when the last trains rolled out of Radogoszcz station from the Łódź ghetto. The trains were headed for Auschwitz, and my great-grandfather Edward (Yehuda) Biderman was on one of these ill-fated transports. He had suffered so much already. Born into poverty on October 3, 1911, in Poland, he dropped out of...

Images to help you remember the good old days.

Everyone has moments where they forget what they were saying, or they can’t find something they were using only a little while ago. Such instances can be annoying, even really inconvenient, and the long term memory loss that comes with age can be downright scary. Fortunately, there are several things you can do that can […]

I am tired of everything matchy matchy.. in perfect order... I want the warmth and personality of AN OLD FASHIONED BED.. Soft, worn quilts.. HANDMADE... My mom made embroidery pillow cases..JUST LIKE THAT ONE on this bed. Our pillows didn't have to be STRAIGHT.. ♥ or have a thousand pillows piled on the bed.. I have EIGHT (8) pillows here... there's TWELVE (12) on this guest bed.. Good Grief... The beds of my childhood...all they really HAD to be... was soft and comfy and warm and smell good. and friends and family, snuggling together.. telling stories..♥ laughing at jokes.. sneaking into the kitchen for ANOTHER one of those good cookies ♣ and running back, jumping from the doorway all the way to the bed. ♥ THESE are silly, giggling grand girls, all piled up in MY bed.. I can remember doing the same with cousins and friends when I was younger... I love beds that hold THIS much fun...♥ HOME SWEET HOME... ♫♪ IRONING ... it brings so many memories rushing back that it is almost overwhelming. I am getting so choked up...so full of emotions that my mind is jumping all over the page.. My mother had an old quilt on HER ironing board, too...*gulp I close my eyes and I can see.. the steam rising from the dampened pillowcases being ironed... I can even SMELL the wondering aroma from the sweet ironed pieces. ♫ I see a basket, filled to the brim with the weeks ironing, just like the one of mine, above. I see the old Dr. Pepper bottle with the sprinkler cork inside..used to dampen all the clothes, making ready for IRONING. ♥ I can remember EXACTLY the first time I was allowed to use the iron to iron a pillowcase. This is the cutest painting from DUDA DAZE that I have hanging in my Laundry Center. She has some awesome things for sale in her ETSY SHOP.. ♥ Growing up, we ALWAYS had a screen door at our house. One reason being that, as a YOUNG child, we didn't have air conditioning. !! CAN you even believe it ? ♥ We opened all windows and doors... and, of course, the screen door let in the breeze but kept those ole pesky bugs OUT. running in and out..... "Jeanie, if you slam that screen door ONE MORE TIME........ !!" :O) JACKS... I played Jacks morning, noon and night... Along with a screen door.. our houses had WOODEN porches. I can remember several times, while playing Jacks with my cousins, on the WOODEN front porch, getting long splinters up a fingernail.... OUCH ! I just wish I still had some of the little JACK POUCHES my mother made for me... ♥ well, for me and for all my cousins. The one I show here is just about like the homemade ones she whipped out... Courtesy Quality Clotheslines.net * Oh, how I remember hanging the clothes out on the line. And, how I wish I had a picture of that old 4 lines CLOTHES LINE that my daddy built for my mama. ♥ I don't have a clothes line... I do however, have a fabulous, vintage wooden DRYING RACK that I LOVE using, every chance I get. I've posted about it before. Mr. Sweet has offered many times to build a clothes line in our tiny back yard. HOWEVER... our yard IS small. A blogger told me about a round one that I might think about. ♥♥ I adore soft towels, due to the CLOTHES DRYER and SOFTENER SHEETS.. ♥ I love my sheets softer, too. O, they smell heavenly when dried outside... but they are SCRATCHY... ♥ I am SUCH a sissy.! This FLYING AUNT ANT reminds me that Mama used to tell me, when I was taking down the clothes, to "...be sure and shake the clothes real well..don't bring bugs into the house". *is it because I'm getting old that makes me want to HEAR THOSE WORDS again ? We made a lot of homemade ice cream when I was a little girl... most of the time, it was out on the screened-in porch. And...we would put an old, thick quilt on top of the freezer and us kids would sit on it while the grown-ups took turns turning the crank. THIS even LOOKS like my mother.. she was dark haired...thin... apron washing dishes milk bottle clothes on the line...♥ she even had yellow mixing bowls.. She always wore dresses.. HOUSE dresses,♥ she called them. I didn't see my mom in pants or shorts until I was almost grown. dishes drying in a rack always TAKE ME BACK... MY job was to DRY the dishes each night. Mom said I would ALWAYS " have to go to the bathroom" about that time. Guess I was hoping they would dry themselves. I have so many more wonderful memories..too many to add to this already TOO LONG post. I wish you would share some of your young memories.. I LOVE hearing them. xoxo bj ♥ Joining: WHITE WEDNESDAY OURDOOR WEDNESDAY GOOD LIFE WEDNESDAY REDNESDAY WEDNESDAY FALL FESTIVAL WEDNESDAY and because I am *going back in time, TIME TRAVEL THURSDAY
