Yep..we got a (indoor) bathroom when I was about 8. We did have 'lectricity cause we had the store. Space heater insome of the rooms. I seriously remember snow drifts under the windows in my bedrooms when itr was really nasty. Quilts and wearin PJs. When i got old 'nyuff to go huntin I wore HMDs..oh hell wore them anyway. Everybody was givin clothes to other families then. Nobody was embarrassed by it either. Girl clothers lasted pretty good but young boys just tore 'em up. LOL. We had a big ol radio too. Member goin to my grandmothers and she listened to the soap oprys on the radio..while she was a workin.. No TV sittin..Listened to the fights on the radio.My father got a used TV in the early 60s and watched the fights when it worked on Friday nights. I also remember the TV goin off the air at 11PM..12 on Saturdays. I got to stay up and watch the not so old movies..Dracula..Frankenstein etc etc
