Hey Paul, I was the wearer of the flour sack dresses. You could always tell because the flowers were small, blue and pink being the most prevalent. I too remember the jelly glasses. Interestingly none of us thought we were poor and we all wanted to have the flour sack dresses. We called them grain sacks but I am sure that the flour and grain sacks were one and the same. Also have vivid memories of grandmother giving me pennies for the gum ball machine - usually they were the old worn and sometimes bent pennies but nonetheless pennies. I recall the gumballs had FORD stamped on them.
Okay enough memory lane, have to get busy and the kitchen is calling my name. I really have to teach it husband's name but that's for another day.
