I Loved Reading ‘The Land that Made me me,’ Dolly; Thank you! Over the Weekend my Husband and I Saw a Display in the Small Town where we Live of Several Old Log Cabins, a Log Post Office, and a Blacksmith Shop, and the Cabins had Things in them that the People had Actually Used; Metal Dishes, a Spinning Wheel, Lamps, etc, and 2 Old Beds had the Original Ancient-Looking Bedspreads on them. There was a Cookpot in the Fireplace, and I’m Glad we don’t have to Cook in the Fireplace these Days; the Microwave is my Friend, Lol. Those People that Lived in the 1800’s would be Amazed at how Much Things have Changed Since their Time Upon the Earth.
I'm Overloaded with So Much to Do Lately that I haven't had as Much Time to Freep, and Miss Contributing to the Thread More. :( Sending Hugs to All the FRiends of Amy's Place!
Sweetie, you would be amazed at how much things have changed since I was a girl. Until I was 9 yrs old, we lived without electric, running water, indoor plumbing, and we cooked a lot of things over the fire in the fireplace. Beans, soup, pot roast. Potatoes were baked in the ashes. It really was not difficult. It just took a bit longer. There are times that I miss the simpler life I lived as a child.
