<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 144321, member: 78&quot;]Hi.</p><p>&nbsp; My Gram got rid of her coal stove in the early 60s. She got a gas stove, since gas was piped there in the 50s. The only heat we had in the house was the coal stove in the kitchen. I remember putting my shoes on the door of the oven to &quot;soften&quot; them.</p><p>I remember getting up in the morning and dressing like a maniac except for the shoes which had to be softened by the stove. Grabbing a hunk of fresh warm bread and a cup of coffee and dancing out the door at 5:30AM to start the chores before breakfast at 7AM and running off to school. Temp outside was 10 below 0 the barn was 35 degrees the house was 40 and climbed to 48 by the time I left to go to school. They wondered why I fled to California as soon as I could. I was NOT going to be cold anymore. Just like Scarlet saying she would not be hungry anymore.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
