We had enough chickens free ranching producing good supply of eggs for our famillies use. Grandpa would take 2 half-boiled eggs every day with pepper and salt. At that time we were drinking raw eggs through a pinhole. I used the eggshells to make chineese dolls, Tea-cup sets & eggplants.
Eggs were reaching 20 cents and she was reminiscing the time when she remembered an egg used to be half-a-cent. I did see half-a-cent from grandma's collection. My little child brain pondered... I could have bought so... many Orange candies for the 5 cents that I had in my undiyal (Terracotta piggybank).
I am my Mothers' Daughter.......
Now I reminisce & say as I heard my Grandma say often...
Those were the Good Old Days!
I am my Mothers' Daughter.......
