Being that our poor model 67 Convertible was on its last leg
a new Hoover would have made my mom very happy.
Anything to help with that 12-room house was a blessing.
We didn't have a dryer. She was thrilled when my brother gave her one. It was used for YEARS and YEARS.
My uncle gave her an electric can opener after taking care of his children while his wife had another child. Again, she was very grateful. We were a no frills household.
Actually, anything she was given was very much appreciated and put to good use, be it cologne, clothes, an appliance, etc.
However, one day, someone tried to influence her with an Electrolux. MISTAKE! That was a memorable day, for sure.
