@RobertaFresque2 You bet they did. It was a time that the women could get together and gossip for a few minutes, even if what they were borrowing wasn't needed or was in their kitchen. Everyone knew each other in the neighborhood back in the 50's to 70's
@onorma_ Sewing thimble. Put on your finger whilst sewing and it stops you putting the needle into your finger, the needle hits your thimble not your finger
@_steve001 You are a good looking 61 years young. I am 73 years old, and have been told by many people I am around 50 odd to 65 odd. And often people visiting my Guest House, they won't believe my age, and have had to haul put my ID book to prove my point.
