RE: Steemit Blockchain Memory Project - Dad Malan the Inventor
Our parents most definitely appear to come from the 'same cut of cloth', my dad after the war years married, we lived on 1/3rd acre stand approximately, his passion was gardening/cooking.
We had just about every fruit imaginable, he was a magnificent cook making bottled fruits, made jam, vegetables fresh from the garden to the plate.
Mom excelled in sewing, all our clothing was made at home, very seldom off the shelf. Her passion was sewing, decorating the house with items seen in shops, when I was working I could give her a brief description on what I had seen, within a week or two I would have a completely new outfit for work.
Your lovely content brought back fond memories, with both parents working it sometimes baffles you as to how much could be done in a day.
Lovely memories, thanks for sharing @joanstewart, life certainly was very different back then. Today everything is instant! No hard toiling to get something, even if you don't have the cash to buy it, no problem, there's credit cards etc etc. Quite a change, I really think we appreciated material things more in the old days. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week :)
