My granmaw had a c.1952 Electrolux that weighed a ton & would suck the chrome offa trailer hitch...I remember once, when she was nearly 100, she lived alone, & was vacuuming her house...She'd "slowed down" as a concession to age, & only gave her house a "Spring Cleaning" every other month, instead of every week or so as she was used to doing when she was a callow youth of 70 or so...Anyhoo, she was up at the top of her stairs, got tangled up in her feet & she & the Electrolux took turns ridin' each other down the stairs...Results ? No harm to the old war horse Electrolux, she had a small cut on her forehead, & was kinda stiff the next day...Miss Izzy was tougher than any 3 pine knots you'd care to name..I wish I could remember what happened to that ol' Lux...Her recipes ALL started with-"First, you take a Stick of Butter...." and went from there. She salted her food to where it looked like it snowed on it, broke ALL the health rules, lived to be 104...
