It's interesting, Shirley. I give a talk, "What Ever Happened to Sunday Dinner?" So many say to me, "You wrote my story." I love it. But my reply always is, "Write your own. It's in there, and it is important." So, Shirley, git goin'!
I never had that experience but appreciate the telling of your experiences. Your dad had a good head on his shoulders in all your writings dad was there to solve the problem. I can share my experiences with coal. When I was 12, I shoveled snow walkways and small driveways and one of my customers Mrs. Maynard would ask me on occasion to go in the basement and shake out the burnt coal and shovel a few scoops of the new into the furnace.
I loved the old radiators!! When taking a shower on a very cold day, I would put my towel on the radiator, and it would be nice and warm when I was ready yo dry off!!
I love reading your memories! Most of them are mine, too.

As a child, I loved melting my Crayola crayons 🖍️ on the radiator. Was fascinated by this😂
HaHa. Well, now, that's a new one for me, Elizabeth.

You were/are a man of many talents, Peter.
You made an interesting comment about my Dad and his influence on me. Until I began to write my stories, I did not realize how much.
I wish he were here now to read what I have written, and for me to tell him what he meant to me.
I do, too!

Yes, Rosemary, we did that also. Thanks for reminding me.
