So Peacefull

The lockhouse was so peaceful, all you could hear most of the time were the animals going about their business. It would be nice to be able to go back to that lifestyle.

The bread man used to deliver bread and whatever else you wanted, like pies or cakes. We never seemed to get anything good like Grandmom did. I'll never forget the coconut custard pie she got one day, I could not get over how good it was. We always got the whole wheat bread which tasted like dried cardboard to me, but she got the Italian bread which I loved.

We were lucky to have lived on the little farm in those days, because meat was rationed, but we had all we ever wanted.
