We ate pretty well too since we lived on a ranch with pretty much fresh
everything, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, and so on, but mom and
grandma did not bake bread often at all, too many other chores came first
with seven kids and not all the modern conveniences we have these days. They
never discussed money with us kids, but I don't think we were rolling in it
by any means.
