Well, Kevin, here's another for you. I remember when hardly anyone had grass in the yards and we had to sweep the yards with brush brooms, made from small bushes or limbs cut from trees, usually dogwood and tied togather with pieces of leather or pieces of rags to hold them together so we could sweep with them.. Sweeping the yard was always the Saturday afternoon job for my sister and me. There was nothing prettier than a clean sweeped yard. After sweeping the yards we were ready for our Saturday bath in the washtub full of water that had been warmed by the day's sun.. I can tell you lot's about the "good ole days".
