Remember When???
"My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old
Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes
in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought
they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it
as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle"
clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.
Man, I am old."
How Many Do You Remember???
