We would visit my aunt and uncle in the summers. They had an outhouse which was a novelty to my sister and me althouh my cousin thought we were nuts. On Fridays a large number of relatives would meet at my aunts house and we would all go to a fish fry in a town a distance away. When we arrived back at their farm, my aunt would holler "girls get the outhouse, boys go behind the house" what a memory!!
My Mom had an ironing machine that I thought was called a mangle.
