I also went to a 3! room schoolhouse (very progressive w.the 3 rooms, LOL). The outhouses were down the hill, boys on the right, girls on the left. There was a pulley connected to the schoolhouse so you could use the cable to help get back up the hill during icy weather. Nope, not kidding! :)<br /><br />I also used to slop the hogs and gather the eggs before going to school. The school got indoor plumbing the year we moved. The whole town turned out for the 1st flush. And again, I promise - not kidding.<br /><br />Hard to believe. Doesn't seem like that long ago. Thanks for the memories! :)Debra Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209071447120905907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-62195220659988367242012-04-04T22:07:59.678-04:002012-04-04T22:07:59.678-04:00With all those lizards you'll never run out of...With all those lizards you'll never run out of things to snap!

Also, the interesting facts about your life, including the truck driving stint. You have led an amazing and interesting life and may it continue to be more so.Beatrice P.

The dogs were no where to be found! I know moth balls get rid of them but they are poisonous to the dogs.<br /><br />I can't imagine taking a bath like that. I did have a friend in high school that didn't have running water in her house. That was so shocking to me because I didn't think anyone still lived like that when I was a teen. She wanted me to spend the night. Other kids told me about the non water issue and the outhouse and I was scared to do it! lol She later moved in with a neighbor who took her in.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-45478605236999250322012-04-04T17:49:38.314-04:002012-04-04T17:49:38.314-04:00My kitty killed a small lizard that somehow got in...My kitty killed a small lizard that somehow got into our basement! <br /><br />I can relate to your story of the early years. We didn't have indoor plumbing either in the house we lived in until it burned down when I was 9 years old. Of course, at that age I didn't know any different. All the work my poor mother had to do, emptying chamber pots and doing without running water.Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-5182569827129970922012-04-04T17:47:28.524-04:002012-04-04T17:47:28.524-04:00Sandra, I haven't been well again so I'm b...Sandra, I haven't been well again so I'm behind on my comment replies. It must have been you who was concerned about Soldier, right? I will discuss arthritis meds with our vet this week or if I should give him some of the other meds he got when he was so ill. Thanks for your concern. Then I am also thinking that it was you who told me how to fix my font size. I tried the new format in blogger and didn't like it a while ago. It may have changed by now. Do you use the new format, if so, do you like it? Fortunately, Rosalind Adam told me I could hold down Control and click zero, or naught, as she called it, being from England. Thanks for everything. Oh, it was warm here the other day and our lizards exploded out of their hiding places, but now it's freezing cold again, so it will be a while.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-72167834756973550462012-04-04T17:25:04.297-04:002012-04-04T17:25:04.297-04:00What a cute little lizard.
