My Grandfather's house had an outhouse and my Grandmother cooked on a woodstove (till about 1975, when my Grandfather who was 80 made her get an electric because he was tired of chopping wood).
I remember riding in my Grandfather's 1948 Ford pickup.
I remember when the Seattle baseball team was called the Pilots.
I remember how neighbors used to bring cookies when someone new moved in.

I worked with a lady who told me when she was young she " lived so far back in the woods they used to pump in daylight" and their toilet paper was an old JC Penny catalog!

Man , now I am really dating myself cause I can remember so many things.

Ok , I remember when the milkman used to come up the street to deliver his milk bottles to the door, but wait there's more . He had a horse drawn cart..... LOL.

I remember as a kid having to help my mom put the coal into the furnace.

Oh and I remember the ice man who delivered big blocks of ice for our ice box ( refrigerator for those who don't know)

I think that is enough for now....... to be continued cause Violet.... I'm on a roll.... Tee Hee.

Another one........ I remember when we used to put our junk in the alley behind our house and the rag man with a horse and buggy would come and put the stuff up...... We used to call him the shenny man... don't ask me what that meant.

I remember when we got our first TV.... It was black and white and had one station..... LOL

Oh and I remember when we had ink wells at school and had to use those silly pens that you dipped into the ink well. And I had long braids and the kid behind dunked them in the ink well.

Oh, when the girls wore crenolines and our skirts stuck out for miles and you had to starch them and hang them on the line. And they snagged your stockings all the time.

When the boys wore white buck shoes and thought they were cool.

I remember when we were outside playing all the time hopscotch, marbles , pick up sticks I guess the only game that is still around is monopoly. In the winter every one had a skating rink and we were out ice skating.

The good old days.... life was not so fast paced and we walked to school and came home for a hot lunch that mom cooked.
