Remember all the Burma Shave signs along the "highways"? Each one had a portion of a rhyme on it and you had to wait until you got to the next sign for the next part (cars didn't go 80 mph then). There was no such thing as a Rest Area with restrooms, either......only the side of the road . (It was a lonnnng way between towns and gas stations.)

My grandmother would make me dresses from the flour and/or sugar sacks, so I always got a new dress when we went to Granny's.

Ah yes...The Burma Shave signs.

Here are some to look at.
