I do, but not to the extent that my parents do. I guess 26 years of
moving with the Army & having to meet weight allowance restrictions kept
me from becoming too much of a pack rat.

That's way more breakfast than I'd ever eat! Eggs & such but not the
cereal or vice versa. If I go to IHOP or some place like that for
breakfast, I find a meal without the pancakes or give them to Steve. (G)

We never had the sugary cereals. I'm mot sure why, unless they cost
more, but since we were allowed to put sugar on the cereal, it doesn't
matter. Raisins were a Christmas day treat but if we picked berries
(straw, black, rasp...........) in the summer, they could go on the
cereal the next morning. Sunday breakfast was the same as the rest of
the week, nothing special.
