The
principle
use
of
Grandma's
apron
was
to
protect
the
dress
underneath
but,
along
with
that,
it
served
as
a
holder
for
removing
hot
pans
from
the
oven.
It
was
wonderful
for
drying
children's
tears
and,
on
occasion,
even
used
for
cleaning
out
their
dirty
ears.
From
the
chicken
coop,
the
apron
was
used
for
carrying
eggs,
fussy
chicks
and
sometimes
half-hatched
eggs
to
be
finished
in
the
warming
oven.
When
company
came,
Grandma's
apron
was
an
ideal
hiding
place
for
shy
children
and
when
the
weather
was
cold,
Grandma
wrapped
it
around
her
arms
to
keep
herself
warm.
That
big
old
apron
wiped
many
a
perspiring
brow,
bent
over
the
hot
wood
stove.
Chips
and
kindling-wood
were
brought
into
the
kitchen
in
that
apron.
From
the
garden,
it
carried
all
sorts
of
vegetables.
After
the
peas
had
been
shelled,
it
carried
out
the
hulls.
In
the
fall,
it
was
used
to
bring
in
apples
that
had
fallen
from
the
trees.
When
unexpected
company
drove
up
the
road,
it
was
surprising
how
much
furniture
that
apron
could
dust
in
a
matter
of
seconds.
When
dinner
was
ready,
Grandma
walked
out
onto
the
porch
and
waved
her
apron
and
the
men
knew
it
was
time
to
come
in
from
the
fields
for
dinner.
It
will
be
a
long
time
before
anyone
invents
something
that
will
replace
Grandma's
apron,
in
fact,
probably
nothing
ever
will.
