Do You Remember When

Guess I am too young!

I do remember summers filled with Koolaid, baseball, and bike rides!

Thanks Boo and I do well remember and Hey, Mike me son....those are called the good ole days but... although slower paced and usually more peaceful...they weren't that much fun with all the hard work and very little pay! But we did get out in the fresh air and work building muscles and leaner bodies....but AH today....very different and the older I get, the weaker and heavier I got! Oh, to be young, lean and trim again but to know then what I know now! Enjoy life, as your older age is coming unless Lord Jesus comes first and takes us away from this world of sin and corruption which is sinking lower and lower into the depths of satan's slimy pit! Love ya in Christ Jesus! Ma Betty

I know. Alot of you on here are to young to remember those Day's. I remember having to get up and go out to the OUTHOUSE to use bathroom,took our Baths in a Wash Tub,had to pump water for everything. Playing outside to we were call in to take our baths,many more thing I could talk about but I'm having Flashbacks now. I sure miss those Days............

Well Boo...you got to pump the water but Cliff and I had to carry it to and fro from the spring to fill the washtub for baths, and for washing, cooking and drinking! Our milk, butter and etc. were kept in the Springbox which had a lid you could lift up and down! The spring was in a large round section of a brown clay tile placed in the ground where the water bubbled out and it was cold as or colder than refrigerator water! Dad sold the underground rights to St. Joe Lead Company and when they drilled for lead and whatever else they could find....the springs dried up but we had electricity by then and dad bought a refrigerator and freezer! When he built the new house after we left home, he had a well drilled and a Septic Tank put in! We used to buy baskets of peaches and watermelons and cantelopes off the trucks when the people came by our farm to sell them! We also bought day old bread and cakes and stored them in the freezer! This was when I was in highschool....before that we had pancakes, biscuits and cornbread most of the time! My grandmother, dad's mom, did make her own bread out of yeast and stored the fresh loaves in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid! Now, those were the good ole days, because I loved to go to grandma's and eat her yeast bread and other food, for being German she was a very good cook! Her dark and white chocolate fudge with black walnuts was out of this world, but mom made Pecan Pies out of black walnuts and they were extra rich and good...No way could I eat all that stuff now as I would have heartburns with much agony of suffering! :sad: We had an outhouse too and a highwater bridge to cross over to the barn and animals when the creek was flooded and it sure could get rolling and wash out our pole foot log until it was replaced! Well, I gotta quit thinking about all those days and live in the present! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty

we can remember the past better than the present! Talk to any old people in their 80's, 90's and 100's and they always talk about when they were kids at home! Not me as yet, for I'm only in my 70's! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty
