Lazy day today. Did get to Wegmans for some goods. Woke up feeling lousy & a good headache. Looked rainy all day, but nothing yet. Had our usual sausage & waffles for sunday morning. Spent $85 at the grocery store and gas pump. Can't believe how much more all things are now. Hope somebody in the good old USA can straighten things out some. Wonder how people today could handle a depression like I grew up in. I look back & I think it was good old FDR who straightened things out back then.
At fourteen I was working in a restaurant & grocery store, so had my own spending money. Got fifty cents each morning before school cleaning up the restaurant before it opened, then in the summer worked for a dollar a day and a dollar and a half on saturdays in a grocery store. Then found a better deal in the canning factory for 25 cents an hour the following summer.
Know a lot of people out of work at the time, but always something out there if you looked hard enough. Dad was lucky and had a pretty good secure job, but nothing extra most of the time. He worked two jobs most of the time to make ends meet, as he was a very good carpenter.
Hope somehow things get back to better for the younger generation. I feel blessed that my family are doing okay and good jobs, so I don't worry to much about thier future. Just the big thing today is the countries debt which my children & grand children will have to deal with.
Okay enough of the for today. The beginning of the week & may it be a good one for us all-
