And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My mother had one very similar in just that color. My god the amount of baked goods and mashed taters she made with that! She passed in May. I can still hear the sound of that motor and smell the goodies! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about and miss her. Something how the picture of an old mixer can evoke such memories. Getting a bit dusty in here.
Made to last and never die: what we have today will never compare to this.
ReplyDeleteSame model in my home in 1956 - all the good stuff baked for me as a child originated in it ;-) still have the companion coffee grinder, works too..
ReplyDeleteMy mom still has that one in white.
ReplyDeleteI’ll add that the top handle rotates to the right to drop the beaters out.
DeleteThat certainly is not today's Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
ReplyDeleteMy mom also had one of those, also in white. Then she went to the Kitchenaide.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever wait for your Mum to mix cake icing and get the mixers to lick?
