My Granny that lived on the farm didn't have running water when I was kid either. We carried water from the neighbor's well in 5 gallon buckets, and kept it on a table with a dipper. There was a cistern that we could use for bathing in a galvanized tub once a week.

During the week, we used a basin and wash rag to bath on the back porch, or in the summer we used a watering can outdoors in a sheltered place behind the house where passers by couldn't see.

I loved going to Granny's. It was kinda like a camp-out in the house.LOL

That sounds like the stories my dad told about the home he grew up in.
