In the early 70's we would get fresh milk and make our own ice cream, butter etc. I used a blender and a mixer, sure did them in, but I was just making small batches. The boys remember it and they liked it, but it became a big hassel when I got "behind".

In California only super old homes or custom made homes have basements and attics. Our version of that is the garage where the washer and dryer live. I think, when we move to Lake of the Woods, we'll probably have the washer and dryer in the house laundry room since most of the homes up there don't have a garage. Sandi

I have clothes lines but usually use them when dryer is down or for large items like quilts. My washer is in a basement and lugging them upstairs wet is a chore lately.

yes, I believe we should remind them of these things, and actually teach them some of these ways as for a greater appreciation of the life style. Besides it is terrible that some don't have a clue as what to do when the dryer is broken, other than go to the laundry mat. Mom taught me when you hang clothes up hang in order towles, washcloths etc, that way when you take down, you fold and you just put away when brought in.

Hi Jackie and all, Just catching up on the chats of the 50's. One thing forgotten in the 50's was the "wonderful" music to dance to (and listen to) - the jitterbug; waltz; Friday night at the Polish Hall; slooooooooow dancing to really romantic music and tap your foot to the Big Bands. In "my" younger day, even while in high school, and taught dancing to some of my male classmates so they could "strut" at the Senior Prom. I also took ballet and tap. Now my Bill, he had and still has "2" left feet that still go in different directions. HeHe - he played the drum while in high school. In Hamilton, he grew up between the Germans and Italians - had the best of both worlds. Me, I had a very oversized 2 lots and raised most of our food with chickens and we sold eggs and many of the veggies we grew. Bill is 5'10" and me-(adopted Maupin) only 5'0". Our dtr is 4'11", of course "my mother was only 4'9". Jackie, what are some of your mother's surnames in Rockcastle Co. Bill's Adams were heavy in the County for many years.

I can tell you one better than a rain barrel. My Mom's family is from Brodhead Rockcastle Co. Ky. They had sulfur springs, smelled like rotten eggs. We were visiting and my Aunt Janet was with us, she wanted to wash her hair, and she didn't want to use that stinky water. There was a spring where they got drinking water that wasn't sulfur. Instead of getting some in a bucket and washing her hair, she washed it in the spring! They had to wait 24 hrs for the spring to clear before using it! Boy was she in trouble!

We have a Maupin cousin who is double jointed who is my first cousin. She use to be able to put herself into lots of body contortions, if that's what you call it. Really WEIRD!
