Bettye: Verden is in Grady CO, OK. It's close to Caddo CO, to the west. I swear Caddo CO is to the east. I get so turned around out there and when I see the sun setting in the "east" my family laughs! So, I need the ocean to tell me which way is west out here! LOL My family out there had outhouses and tubs. Mother said the oldest washed in the tub first and it went down the line to the youngest! She hated that because the water was quite dirty by her turn. She was one of 8 children but I forgot to mention a first cousin who was raised by my grandparents when her mother died before she was 2. So there were really 9 children. When my uncle married again my cousin wouldn't leave our grandparents. I stayed with that cousin when she and her husband and two boys lived on a farm in Maysville, OK and they had no electricity, several times. They had an outhouse and I hated going there. But, I thought it was neat that they had the lanterns, that went out early so they could get up with the chickens, so to speak, to start a new day. I saw farming to the point that I realized that it wouldn't be fun to live on a farm. My mother told me I wouldn't like it. Well, I was a visitor, so I didn't have to do anything. My cousin's boys, around my age, had to work and work hard! Sandi
