Oh yes, been there, done that!! We also carried water in buckets, heated it in a washtub over an outdoor fire~~~ and on and on~~~ I am so thankful for our modern conveniences. But!!! I remember hanging diapers for my two boys and they sparkled in the sunshine to make me proud..... I used to make my own clothes and shirts for the men/boys, everything starched, ironed...... ah, the good old days!!
