My Mom and Dad were married in 1936 They lived o in a house on Granddads farm were married just 50 years plus Mom still lives in the house, I was born in it and can look out the window from this computer and see it. R E A was comming in so Dad got a job digging holes to make enought money to wire the house. He has told me he was milking 7 cows making $7.00 a week and they usually had a dollar left over after expences. They saved $.50 a week and bought an AC/DC radio Granddad saw it and thought they are doing better than I thought so he started charging rent. Dad bought a cow for $5.00 leasted it to the local Dairy that had a delivery for a dollar a week after eight weeks sold it to the dairy for $5.00. Dad never had a lot of money but was always able to come up with the money when he needed something.
