Breakfast in 1938


My grandfather used to insist it would be wise to pepper ones eggs first so that a contrasting background is created to more accurately measure the salt applied.

He always took the second piece of toast in a stack of toast explaining that the top piece had accumulated dust.

I never knew my father’s father. He died in the 1940’s but I remember stories told about him like he is still here.

I feel like I knew him too. Daddy kept him alive for us. I know he loved to sit around the table with family and talk just as Daddy did.

smart man. simple truths.

how did he feel about the top newspaper in the newspaper bin?
I don't have a good reason, but 8 out of 10 times I won't take the top one; choosing the 2nd one down instead.

I understand your grandfather's toast phobia. It's the same reason I won't drink my water at work out of an open cup. I have to have something covered to drink out of.
