I also remember no TV, microwave, dishwasher, 1-car households, no computers, no cell phones, when most mothers did not work outside the home, etc. etc. Guess I'm really giving my age away. Still, there's a lot to be said for those days when life was not on such a fast track and everyday life was not so hectic and dysfunctional.
I remember our first TV. My grandmother died right after Christmas in 1959. My mom got her TV. All the other siblings in her family had TVs already. One of the first TV shows I remember watching was Coronado Nine-------with Rod TAylor.

I'm going to skip the outhouse stories! lol
