Wow! The last person to comment here was in 2013 and here I am two years later. It's a puzzle and a mystery where this picture might have been for two years.
Doing this today. 2 years since the last time someone commented! However, some people just don't comment or they might has done a harder version of this! I did 56 curvy!
My niece went to the grocery store to get toliet paper during WW2 There was none. the groceier told us she said " What will we wipe on. She was about 5 then.
I was born at the beginning of WWII, I love hearing all your stories of pre-war and postwar rationing. My mum had a hard time when we had to go to the grocery store. My dad brought home vegetables from b&b's when he was away from home.
I was born in 1959, so I am post era but I was raised by my Grandparents and my Grandma would pull out the ration books she had leftover and show them to us, it helped us understand how things were and why she taught us to save our money and store things up incase of hard times, she had my Grandfather build so many cupboards in our basement and she would shop with coupons, it looked like a store down there, And then I remember my favorite part was when she let me look at the letters my Uncle Frankie would write to my Mother, she was a little girl and she wrote to him as he was stationed in different places an army photographer, the letters were airmail and very small brown paper, I would open them carefully and read them with my sisters, My mother passed away when I was 15 months old so it was nice to read these letters he wrote to her, helped us feel connected.
My Uncle Frankie took pictures and some of them were horrible bodies in pits and from all the evil Hitler had done and he came back having lost one lung but more then that he had a nervous breakdown from all he had seen and never stopped shaking, I remember watching his hands as he talked and they trembled. He died in 2001 from cancer, God rest his soul.
