Nice photo !! I remember my Mom having one of the blue measuring tool for her sowing. And i miss the imperial measurement system. Canada changed from imperial to metric in approximately 1975, right in the middle of my high school years, what a mess this was and what stupid thing to do. I quit school before i learned it. I still don't know metric 40 years later. One thing that peazes me off is that grocery stores use both. They have the imperial measurements prices on the sign for weighted produce but the price on our receipts are in metric weight. So it's hard to say if they are charging the right price.
@homeschoolmom@barbtatum@craftymeg@ziggy77 Thank you for your comments. Jane ( @cejaanderson ) I zoomed in to get this photo. Thought it would be easier to visualize the "inch". @jocee Thank you for the fav. @lyndemc Thank you, too. Joce & Denise, I guess I wasn't thinking about other countries using metric. Weight throws me off in metric units more than anything else. Seems if remember the 55/88 speed limit going to visit my Canadian family a long time ago. And 1 cm = 5/8 inch. Liter bottles of soda help to visualize comparison to a quart. But weight...Oh well, I don't have to know that yet.
