Speaking of the old wringer washer, my story goes back further than that. Before we finally got an electric washer, we had the old black iron washpot in the back yard. Yep, it took awhile to draw enough water from the old rope and bucket well to carry to the washpot. Build a fire under it, add whatever soap we had and wash my Dad's oily overalls in almost boiling hot water. Used a "punching stick" to poke them around once in awhile. Then they went into the "rub board" washpot to scrub. Believe me, it was a red letter day when we got electricity and finally a wringer washer!
PS....I am age 83 now. |
I relate to each one - won't give you my age though.

I still have 2 sets of push button light switches in my old 1900 house. Love them.
|
I remember them all... What a gentler, simpler time that was. If we only knew what was coming we never would have believed it.
|
I remember most and i'm 56
|
Ha, ha, ha, I'm only 50 and I remember all those things except the cough drops. Nope, strike that thought. I remember them also. lol :D
|
those wringer washers are worth a lot of cash nowadays, see about selling them and making quilting cash!
|
Oh, MY! What a walk down memory-lane. I am 83, so I remember just about everything there and hanging the old lead icicles on the tree was a three-day job, for sure.
But then, I also remember the horse-drawn milk cart that came every day with your quart of fresh milk from the dairy. The little loaves of Wonder bread that they threw out of a panel truck to the neighborhood children about once a year, that was a "biggie". |
