Back in the 70s, I was a kid. We lived on the reservation with no electricity, no running water, outhouses, wood stove.
Im seriously out of practice.
“Back in the 70s, I was a kid. We lived on the reservation with no electricity, no running water, outhouses, wood stove.”
I hated wasps in the outhouse. My Granny was still cooking with coal in the 60’s.
I carried the two gallon water bucket. My brother carried the three gallon one when water was brought from the springhouse up to our log home. The outhouse was up the hill from the back door. We had a cistern in between but the water in it was used for laundry. I can remember making candles ... kerosene was expensive.
