Debileah's memoirs...

Just fleeting thoughts and memories..

Mom use to make us homemade frosting on top of graham crackers for a snack... and tortillas with peanut butter and jelly were awesome.. lol ... my dad's factory shut down in the mid 50's and we experienced trying to relocate, he painted houses in florida for $1 an hour, we headed to texas where we met with being homeless for a spell, walking the streets of houston, living out of our jalopy of car, he would search out pop bottles, alluminum pop cans and copper to keep us fed, then we traveled on a greyhound came back home to ohio and president kennedy took office, thanks to him we survived off of sea rations from the navy as my dad was a veteran of WWII, until he finally got hired at a foundry here...life was hard in those days, but we survived and i guess this life, many lessons are learned the hard way.. i appreciate the fact that my mom and dad gave us the best they had to offer and that was love and lots of hugs..
