More Childhood Flashbacks, just now jotting down on AW-Forum
We went to this house, a long, long time ago, where this Brady-bunch-sized family lived, and there was even a waterfront behind the house, and a treehouse as well (I have no idea who these people even were!) but guess who stayed inside and played with the play kitchen (it had a sink with a garbage disposal underneath--but a picture of against the back of the cabinet, and with the On/Off switch on it--Yes, it was ME, probably making a make-believe dinner for every one, that instead of everybody going in for, we juts left...
Mom criticized me, for doing that & me saying, that the real kitchen had a green gas stove with an upper/lower oven, (either a Kenmore, Caloric or Roper--really forgot which, but it could have been a Caloric, as I think the grids were wire, as opposed to the standard cast-iron) so she did even more if that's what the visit meant more to me, than my sister, who played outside w/ the rest of the kids... Don't know how my folks knew them, at all...
There was also a relative of my mom's who lived in Ohio we visited, also around that long ago, who somehow lived in a house with the same floor plan as ours (but the bedroom where my sister's was had a door that opened on the back stairs landing (even with a lock) and Copper appliances, with a Kenmore roto-rack dishwasher, top-of-the-line, EXACTLY JUST LIKE the one across the street from our house (it also had "our" floor plan)... Forgot what the stove was, but I remember it being an electric, and I think it could have even been a Frigidaire "Super" Radiant-Tube, while if the refrigerator wasn't a Sears Coldspot (like that house's 'cross the street from us ALSO was) Automatic Ice Maker Frostless 19, then maybe a Philco/Ford built by GE...
