It is so cool you mention this. My DH and I were in Shipshewanna Indiana last week, and at noon they set off the fire siren. I hadn't heard that in a long time. This is an Amish town and alot of the great older things are available . We love to go there.

Yes, I had those, and could never keep them on my short fat feet! I had such wide feet as a kid the shoe box fit better than the shoes. LOL

I know of one thing I'm glad we don't have any more. Keys to open coffee cans! I hated those things. I could never get it straight, and I cut myself alot too!
