We had to pump our water; if the can containing the prime water was ever empty, it meant a trip to the creek. We had a water bucket and a dipper in the kitchen; I can remember ice crystals on the top of the water bucket several times in the winter. Ah, the good old days!
I also remember drinking from a dipper and a bucket. Cooking on a kerosene range, heating with coal and wood. One car, one tv no telephone, microwave, video game, DVD player, cable, dryer or mot other things we take for granted. But, I had mom at home, home cooked meals, fresh milk and eggs, woods to play in, I could shoot a rabbit or squirrel with a .22, make trot lines, trap furs, build a fire, prime a pitcher pump. Poor, not me!
