My mom was a depression baby whose family was hard-hit, like so many. But
like most of the women in my family, she didn't get married until she was
almost 30. I was just a couple of months shy of 30 myself. I wasn't a "Silent
Generation" baby - I'm part of the boomers...but with a depression-era mom,
we still heard plenty about it. When my husband's parents (who did fairly well
financially) died, we found cabinets full of old tins from "chicken pot pies," old
butter dishes, tin foil, etc. When we studied the depression in school, I
always felt like it was ALMOST a part of my own life...just beyond my stretch
back in time.
Did your parents ever find themselves saying, "What you kids need is a good
depression"?
