This is a fun thread. I don't remember a lot of details about my childhood, more just general memories. I lived on the farm with my grandma, grandpa, and my mom after she divorced my dad. We didn't have indoor plumbing till I was 9 and I hated to go to the outhouse in the summer because there was always yellow jackets in the ceiling, so I would (ahem) "go" behind the barn. I remember taking a bath in a round tub in the kitchen and i remember pulling a bucket of water up the well. The bucket sat on the kitchen counter and we had a dipper to drink with. I remember grandma catching a chicken, killing it, and cooking it for Sunday dinner (which was at noon). I remember swinging in the water tank at the windmill. I remember playing for hours in the attic, all sorts of games made up games with my cousins.
