Forbes Ave
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.
