"I remember looking through my husband's father – he always kept track of everything that he spent and bought. And we had his book on that for so long. My son has it now. It told about how much he had to spend for gasoline, which was 10-cents a gallon, or something like that. Or kerosene. Or feed. Or anything like that. Those times, I tell you, they were something else. But you know, we was all in the same boat, crying out load. It could have been worse. We're here to talk about it."
