Yes, the outhouse was terrible but remember what we had to use for toidy paper?....catalogs...and they worked well until companies started coming up with slick, colored pictures. Inside, at night or when we were sick, we had a bucket (forget the potty chair).
Yes, we had a hand pump for water in the kitchen and then it was heated to prepare our bath water. There was also a outside pump which we had to fill buckets to water the garden.
Yes, it was hard back then but it has a lot of favorite memories for me!

ReplyDeleteThank you...Yes, I'm happy I figured it out too.
ReplyDeleteAs for filling in the blanks, it will probably be good for me but I never would have done it on my own.
I love rehashing these precious old memories too, and the kids and grandkids love reading about them. It was a great childhood.
