Things I remember from the simpler days & don't miss them a bit. No plumbing in the farmhouse, had a small 4x4 building in corner of garden, no insulation or upstairs heat, on cold mornings grab clothes & run downstairs to get dressed by woodstove, wake up to see ice in water bucket on kitchen table, turn off refrigerator about Nov 1 as nothing would spoil in cold kitchen, take a bath in washtub in kitchen, kerosene lamps until we got elec wired in summer of 48, milking cows by hand, chain saws & power splitters hadn't been invented so we cut & split firewood by hand after school & all day Saturday , tractor got parked for the winter after corn picking, using grain scoop to clear long driveway of 4-6 foot snowdrifts to get car out, average expected lifespan of under 50.
