I can recall my brother and I checking out the stamps people used at the kitchen table, and the way the cards from across the ocean were lighter weight, because international shipping was too expensive with heavy cards.
Making bread was a regular part of our island life. Every family had a bread making day and made enough of it for a few days. Families made bread at different days so we could borrow from each other and would return a fresh loaf when we baked.
One of my brothers would take our cat in summer afternoon and slowly inspect the rocks for gušterice sunning themselves in the heat. They worked as a team.
