Question About Family Story of Home Canning

[thistlebloom]

The nail straightening seems to be a theme to all depression era people

When I was 11 dad bought several small outbuildings from a guy, took them apart and hauled them home. Straightening nails was something my older sis and I did after school for some time. Dad used the wood for a tack room, a feed shed, a horse shelter and a large tool shed for his tools.

I definitely have the scrounging bent, but I don't know if I can blame my parents....

I have the bottle caper not going to get rid of it.

That's neat. We had an old bottle capper, from when mom and dad made root beer for several years.
