It is great to see that it paid off in that she had the same shovel forever. We could use a good lesson from her.<br /><br />I love the juicer too. There is something about that green that reminds me of my grandma.<br /><br /><br />Glad you joined Vintage Thingy Thursday.<br /><br />RhondaRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795081104677489453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-47605297610742049462009-07-02T18:16:58.663-04:002009-07-02T18:16:58.663-04:00I love stories that tell about the lives of the pe...I love stories that tell about the lives of the people who used these vintage things. <br />A shovel was an important tool back in the days when people did more to maintain things. We have become such a "throw away" society that it seems odd to here that someone washed, dried and oiled a tool before they put it away. My great uncle always did thison his farm. That's how things lasted longer. <br />Thanks for a long forgotten memory.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-9909244200644881522009-07-02T17:32:19.791-04:002009-07-02T17:32:19.791-04:00It's always nice to have a story to go along w...It's always nice to have a story to go along with a vintage item.
