Remember When....

Talking to a friend from Arkansas the other day, he asked me "Do you remember needing to use the outhouse during the winter months?", I told him I try not remember those times. We were neighbors, are families lived about four miles apart, along with 6 or 7 other families in a very rural part of Western Arkansas. We eventually all got "modern" plumbing, electricity, telephones (party line) but we never did get televisions (No reception in those mountains). The only time we watched TV, was when we went to town.



There wasn't that many of us that lived up on that Mountain, those of us that did, think we had it better, we saw and did things that no TV is ever going to show you. I always laugh when my step daughter complains about the cable or the internet going down (really, what will do now?).
