My grandpa (tobacco farmer) always had all sort of special things in his pockets, and as a special treat, he let us pick a pocket and then carry around his stuff while we walked the fields with him. I don't think any of us ever lost a single thing, either!<br /><br />And the smell of my dad when we hugged him - with his lined-dried shirts, pens in the pocket protector and his unopened pack of Camels... It makes me tear up just thinking about it.<br />Lordy, but I miss the man...Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-21577908987067135442010-06-21T13:02:00.918-05:002010-06-21T13:02:00.918-05:00Hey Bob...

Never owned a clothes drier in my life, and neither did my parents. In the winter I hang laundry inside on some racks next to a heater. The heck with the calendar; I say spring has arrived when it’s warm enough to hang things outside on the line again.<br /><br />I’ve carried a pocket knife ever since I was 9 years old, and so did every boy I knew back then. Still do, and there will be one in my pocket on the day I die. Carry a pocket watch too. I’ve tried wrist watches, but I tear them up just doing the daily activities that I do. Safest place for a watch is in a pocket. I sometimes wear a vest too. More pockets!Bob Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997282897568511967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-15425087647072231752010-06-21T11:13:25.673-05:002010-06-21T11:13:25.673-05:00Hey Felinae...

Good post. Our family ...Good Morning My Special One<br />Good post. Our family was pretty much city folks, but I remember visiting a farm or ranch when very young and even then my dad had on a white shirt and black slacks. But he did have a pocket watch which is now in my posesion, I will love it always and pass it on.JoJonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-10479326399287598652010-06-21T08:58:50.833-05:002010-06-21T08:58:50.833-05:00Ahhh, Jim, thanks for the memories, its not often ...Ahhh, Jim, thanks for the memories, its not often I can remember things from way back when but my grandpa was a railroader, B&O, wrecker operator. He always wore "dungarees", had the pocket knife and pocket watch, a gold Bulova. I loved him dearly, sadly he passed when I was 9 years old, but he made such am impression on me when I really start thinking I am able to recall lot of great memories.

Don't remember the overalls, but dang sure remember the khaki's and particularly his pocket knife. He would pull it out and carefully remove the entire hull from a pecan without breaking the meat!!! And he could clean a perch (or any fish) faster than anyone I ever met .Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-1323405341803797282010-06-21T06:10:51.340-05:002010-06-21T06:10:51.340-05:00Some great rememberances there HermitJim, I rememb...Some great rememberances there HermitJim, I remember quite a bit of those same items from my own Grandparents. My paternal Grandfather lived across the street from us until I was 18, and as long as I remember, his 'uniform' was khaki pants and longsleeve shirt, the later buttoned all the way up, even in heat of south Texas summers.<br /><br />Had an old Case stockman pattern knife and the gold pocketwatch, I don't remember the make of that. Straw hat I can't remember the pattern of - sort of a fedora, but not really. That too was worn most of the time when outside.<br /><br />He always had good advice when I went to visit him. He'd often pray the Novina in the middle afternoon, and I'd wait until he was finished.<br /><br />Lots of great memories, thanks for writing this post. He passed away in 1981, many years ago, but I can still see this face and hear his words when I listen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-14547842033942780892010-06-21T01:39:40.847-05:002010-06-21T01:39:40.847-05:00Hey Nick...

BUT many of them there dresses have no pockets, therefore I wear a cobbler type apron w/pockets. Why? So I can carry all kind of things in them.
