It is interesting that home prices skyrocketed...Hi,<br />It is interesting that home prices skyrocketed around the time that the "two-income" family became the norm. Of course, two cars were then necessary, along with all the other accoutrements of working, such as more and fancier clothes, purchased foods, etc. <br /><br />Once that boulder started rolling, we can't easily go back, and I wonder if we will ever regain what we lost.<br /><br />LisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-47162888907695891502011-04-08T11:29:38.478-07:002011-04-08T11:29:38.478-07:00Our minimum wage here in Ontario is 10.25 an hour,...Our minimum wage here in Ontario is 10.25 an hour, but with the high cost of gas, groceries, etc., it doesn`t go far.......basically my minimum wage contribution helps out with the families`hair cuts, clothing etc., one thing for sure clothes were alot better quality in those days as opposed to today`s cheap off shore version.<br /><br />Mom in CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-82818808907105238562011-04-08T07:57:16.171-07:002011-04-08T07:57:16.171-07:00Oh, my gosh.

Hopefully soon, I will be able to purchase one or two Doris Day DVDs for my collection. <br />I can remember that during my childhood, much of my clothing was American made. How sad that the American garment industry is gone, along with the quality they represented. <br />If you get a chance and are interested, please check out my business page on Facebook: "montanaprairiemom" to see the types of crafts one Western wife and mom enjoys making. <br />Have a wonderful weekend...........DeniseRocky Mountain Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953810454269758775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-62751240568622763762011-04-08T05:11:15.906-07:002011-04-08T05:11:15.906-07:00I think this movie is funny and I own it.

Here is a little info I cut and pasted from my Mary Jane magazine cluck, I think you will find it interesting:<br /><br />"Knock on some doors and see if you can’t wrangle up a few others for an old-fashioned progressive dinner. You’ll start in one apartment for drinks and move to a different home for each course of the meal. Progressive parties were big in the fifties, when casual home entertaining was all the rage and thrifty<br />housewives were looking to spread out the work and expense of hosting. With the current recession hitting entertainment budgets hard, progressive dinners are popular once again. Host one in your building for a<br />party on the cheap that still feels like eating “out.”<br /><br />I just can see you all now with your friends car hopping to the next stop!

We had to make those jeans last too, because it was a much more significant portion of my parents' wages.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852362833362246151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-73548072504196889512011-04-07T10:15:46.168-07:002011-04-07T10:15:46.168-07:00I love Doris Day!

I worry that in our attempt to attain the American Dream we lost much of who we are in our core.<br />JenniferHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.com
