In both set of Grand Parents' homes you watched the Lawrence Welk show. You stayed quiet too or you where in TROUBLE!!!! It was a much simpler time. Things where more ordered. I wish I could dance like many of the people on his show. I am like a bull in a China shop. Kind of stomp around.
A fun story. My Fraternal Grand Parents where very typical German people, Not real emotional or would show affection much. Then you add in them being very conservative on money matters. They loved to ball room dance. They would drive to Storm Lake, which is 250 miles west, to see/dance whenever Lawrence Welk would be there. They would go to the Cobblestone Ballroom. They talked about eating a nice meal and then going to the ballroom to dance the night away. They would sleep in the car and drive home the next day. This was about their only "vice". LOL
Think about a 500 mile trip in the late 1940s and early 1950s. There where no four lane, high speed, roads then. I bet that it took them 6-8 hours of driving time each way.
Looking back it seemed strange to me that "OLD" people would do this. LOL I just was figuring out their ages then. Heck they would have only been in their late 30s and early 40s. I guess your Grand Parents just always seem "old". LOL

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
