Shopping Saturday-Grandma Cheney Wins Groceries!

01/12/2013

Cecil and Earl J. Cheney on the day when they won groceries in 1942.

In 2001, I received a note with this picture enclosed from my aunt Betty. In the note, she tells that her parents would get dressed up every Saturday to go to the Lyric Movie Theater in Lima, Ohio. Their favorite movies were the westerns. On the way to the theater, they would stop at Nesbitt's Candy Shoppe and get peanuts and candy to snack on during the movie.

My aunt remembered the day this picture was taken because when Grandma and Grandpa Cheney went to the movies that evening, Grandma won a basket of groceries, which tickled her to no end. Grandma didn't have to go grocery shopping that week!

Thanks. I never knew my mom's parents so all I know about them are things that my mom and aunts have told me. I was surprised when my aunt sent this to me. She said that Grandma had never won anything in her life and was thrilled when she won the groceries. It was not long after the Great Depression, so I'm sure that it was a blessing to her to win them.
