Back in Time - Kitchen Chores

Nancy and Rosa S.
mid 1980s

I'm pretty sure my brother, Rich took this photo of Mom and me at the kitchen sink. It looks like we are peeling potatoes and preparing for the next meal. Since the Christmas salt and pepper shakers are on the shelves, I'd say the photo was taken in November or December. 

Several generations of babies were bathed in the sink, and numerous stacks of dishes and pot/pans were washed in it over the years.

  2. I remember that kitchen. The microwave stand next to the stove. The metal high chair. And eventually the Dishwasher. And you can’t forget the candy bowl right as you walk in the door. She always had my favorites - orange slices.

  6. Fun to see older photos. I don’t remember ever peeling potatoes until I did my own holiday dinners. But maybe I did.

  8. Great photo save!!! Everyone had those JC penney curtains right? I wish I could peel potatoes with my mom, my Nana or my ALlison right now. THis is funny Nancy: my Nana said her birthday was in May because in Irleand they told her she came with the potatoes. Well, when she died we found out her birthday was in October. She came with the harvesting not the sowing. So she wanted to have 2 birthdays a year.
