13. My dad was born in NV in 1932 and his early years sounded a lot

Edited on Mon Oct-08-07 12:21 PM by kestrel91316

like yours, but they didn't even have any electricity on the ranch. When I was a teenager (early-mid 70s) Grandma finally got electricity and running water in the house! Until then it was outhouse, coleman lanterns and propane stove/fridge, and the red-handled pump out back where we would go fetch her water. And that was THE BEST water!

Mom always hated visiting Grandma's place - she was a town girl and thought that rural stuff was beneath her dignity, lol.

Re this thread - I seem to recall Grandma had a gas-powered wringer washer, and of course a clothesline.
