So calm and serene. I loved your story and it brought back memories to me. That is how I grew up in PA! We were very happy and didn't know anything else.

Yes, I have used an outhouse before at my grandparents. Also, took a bath in a washtub. Happy memories they are too.

It was a fun place but a lot of work for my poor mother with 5 kids.. We would haul water from up the street in buckets.

WOW!!!!<br /><br />The families that I have known in my life which are what I called "poor" may not have had much --but they were the happiest and most appreciative people in the world. The kids didn't know what they were missing --and they were usually much nicer and better behaved than others who had been brought up with WAY too much!!!! <br /><br />Great post.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-22329618034713977662009-09-16T12:50:04.147-07:002009-09-16T12:50:04.147-07:00BEAUTIFUL pictures all,

We used to visit cousins in Kentucky in the summer - and they didn't have a bathroom - just the old outhouse (just had to use it before dark!!) - and we had great fun at bathtime - in a big old galvanized tub! Thanks for the memories!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Kathy<br /><br />P.S.

In 1947 when I was eight, My Mama and my Aunt Bertha took me on a trip to Canada and visited a lot of my Mama's family. We went to a farm where a pig chased me, I was scared to death, so scared I had to use the bathroom. What??? No bathroom. The outhouse was dark and scary. No tissue, newspaper if I remember right. That immense hole in the wooden box was so high up and I thought sure I would fall in. I didn't forget the smell for a long time. My two bathrooms today are so tiny that I often complain. Remembering the outhouse reminds me that you are right. It isn't about what we have, I am going to appreciate my tiny bathrooms all day today.<br /><br />IrisBoo-Bah AKA Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349600949611926242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-7707665188540526602009-09-16T12:13:13.173-07:002009-09-16T12:13:13.173-07:00So true!

I've always been fascinated by the Amish way of life. I don't know that I could ever adopt all their ways though. The story about your cousins was very funny and sweet. It an be such a culture shock when little ones see something outside of their element. I think they adapt much faster than we adults though!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454925115428994669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-25991005481006595922009-09-16T09:04:25.716-07:002009-09-16T09:04:25.716-07:00I remember my family had a cottage near here.
