You are SO right about that. I was raised by kerosene and fire light, yet we
managed to do a full day's work during day light.
One of my most treasured memories is of my little Grandma, sitting in her
rocking chair with some sewing in her lap, leaning a little towards the lamp
or fire place so she would have enough light to finish sewing. Beside the chair
on the floor would be a little glass of elderberry wine that she had made, and it would last her all night till she went to bed. I guess that was her idea of an after dinner cocktail!!
