Nancy! I do believe you left out the part about churning butter and pressing it into a butter mold. The rest of it, well, you could have grown up right beside me! We have matching memories. My brother is 8 years younger than I am and he also has none of those early memories that I have. It's amazing to realize how rapidly the world changed after WWII and those things we did, pretty quickly became old and were replaced by something new. Now we know that 'new' isn't always better.
Of course you may use the article for your garden club, and if you make copies it would be nice if you added the source link back to ATP.
I truly enjoyed your words, thank you! I hope I hear from you again.
