And if I Wasn't Feeling Old Enough...

Evelyn completed one of her DOT PUZZLES tonight. (remember, "color each of the spaces that has 2 dots in it.") and the picture that emerged was of an old wood burning stove.

Evelyn: Mom, what is this picture?
Me: It's a wood-burning stove. This is what people used before electricity. You put the wood inside and it would heat up the top so you could boil water and cook oatmeal and stuff.
Evelyn: Oh, did you use one of these?
Me: Well, no--
Evelyn: Oh, you probably just got your food from the woods.

(Yea, me and my other cavewomen friends...)

Ah yes, "the woods"....the childhood food source for everyone over 35. That little girl is starting to appreciate what it was like to live "back in the day..."
