I remember living on Forbes Ave in Tonawanda.
During the winter it was very cold and alot of snow. Dad made an igloo in the back yard using a cardboard box as a mold. Grandma DeOre sent us some knitted nose warmers (link courtesy of Liz). They basically were knitted cones with a tassel on the point and strings to tie around the head. I am sure there are no pics of those and I am sure they looked very silly!
Dad worked in NYC and came back on Friday night. There was usually an order out for fish dinners (catholics). I remember the smell of the place that made the dinners. It lingers on in my mind (nose) as the smell of a good fish platter.
We had a big console stero unit and there was plenty of music going -- Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Ray Charles.

Wow -- you REMEMBER ALL THIS?
I didn't know that Dad worked in NYC -- huh. I remember he came home on Friday nites, because mom and dad always went grocery shopping as soon as he got home. So by the time they returned, it was time to watch the circus on TV!
I remember -- TV dinners were a big treat -- mom would write a list and Michael would ride his bike to the store to get our 'order' of frozen dinners.
What a treat! Poor Michael -- 1 time he lost the money and was sooooo upset.
But usually he returned with treats, like salted sunflower seeds.
