Thanks so much for your comment. My husband, John, fits in the equation some where even though the names are spelled differently. Glad you enjoy the blog — tell others. Maybe we’ll meet some day.

His father John Crumbly and my grandfather Samuel Astor Crumbley were brothers. I don’t know why Astor, as he was called, added the E. I have a quilt that my maternal grandmother, Essie Brock Dixon, made using Red Lion flour sacks and worn out overalls. Not as pretty as some that you mention but just as practical. I treasure that quilt. Nothing wasted! Thanks very much!

His shirt was a white flour sack & his little pants were made from a white feed sack (like the ones we used for hand towels.) Of course they were starched with flour starch & ironed with a black smoothing iron. I have heard my Mama tell that story many times. I read your blog every day & enjoy it so much.
