Those catalogs were mighty handy in the day. Old ones were kept in the outhouse. You can't tear off a web page and finish your business...
Had the experience of the one and two holers myself. Growing up we had indoor plumbing in the state of Texas. Dad, from North Dakota farmland had family up there we visited every year. Aunts/uncles on the farm and some continued to have nothing but. There were a few who did have indoor plumbing and of course those were the ones we children would want to visit and spend the night. One thing about Texas cooking compared to the cuisine of N.D. Down here nothing but margarine used. Up there cream, butter, and rich, rich food. It was there where I would become sick as a dog. And it’s an unpleasant experience with the need to make an OH visit in the middle of the night repeatedly. Fondly remember the hand pump in the middle of the kitchen sink in my Aunt’s home. And the joy when my uncle would allow us youngns a ride on his tractor as he plowed the field. We were always ready to carry his lunch from kitchen to field just to ride on the tractor. And breakfast. N.D. cooks ALWAYS served a sweet for breakfast. Cookies,strudel, etc. As Kids, breakfast would always be a treat. Those were the days remembered fondly..with the exception being those sick hours, of course.
Yeah, but web pages don't get stuck together ...
