Aprons
I don’t think our kids know what an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress
underneath,
but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans
from the
oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion
was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy
chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the
warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding
places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped
it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot
wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in
that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas
had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the apron
was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how
much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her
apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to
dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will
replace that "old-time apron” that served so many purposes.
REMEMBER
Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the
window sill to cool.
Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.
Got this in an e-mail on November 13, 2007.
Have no idea where it originated.
