We played a lot of Chuck Berry.I had to work nights and weekends at WCNH to pay for your Momma's doctor's bills. We drove a VW Kombi--a delivery van. Noisy as hell and unstable. $ 15,000 houses are fine, but realize I made $ 1.75 per hour as a DJ. As for Kennedy's feet up. Hardly, the Cold War was at its peak. The possibility of wholesale nuclear war was very real. Dean Rusk said of the Cuban Missile Crisis. "We were eyebasll to eyeball and the other guy blinked."

We had moved to the little house out in the country when you were born ($40/month and it was a stretch). I was always looking for ways to make money at home--stuffing envelopes, making cheap purses, etc. Our TV was a small B&W Silvertone, and when the picture tube died, we listened to the sound only. The Cuban missle crisis lead to your Dad trying to build a bomb shelter in the back yard. Scary times. We had a few chickens, and at times eggs were all we had to eat. A bag of corn meal turned out to have weavels, so we made "Dog cake" for the animals with corn meal and eggs, and I learned how to float the bugs out so we could have cornbread for ourselves. We had next to nothing, but we never felt "Poor", and those early days were some of our happiest.Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-31655660016558231702009-06-15T14:48:49.216-05:002009-06-15T14:48:49.216-05:00You were born on March 25!

Love this interpretation of a Fun Monday assignment. The thing I enjoy about Fun Mondays is the challenge of making a topic your own, which you did so well in this post, Sayre. I've got to get back in the FM groove. In the meantime, I have something posted that you may find interesting if you are a bit of a celebrity and all their foibles watcher.<br /><br />BTW, in the late 60s my annual teaching salary in Florida was $6500. I felt so rich!Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-23303647019919687962009-06-15T10:09:55.715-05:002009-06-15T10:09:55.715-05:00Great post, Sayre!

My mom says that she remembers the song "Rhinestone Cowboy" getting a lot of airplay when she was expecting me. We lived in SW Virginia at the time :-) Happy FM!margarethttp://misformisanthrope.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-12723738562124228832009-06-15T10:04:48.786-05:002009-06-15T10:04:48.786-05:00wow... you did VERY WELL!
