Pouring salted peanuts into a coke-a-cola bottle (glass) and drinking it. 2. Floating down the river on a tire tube. 3. Helping my grandmother wash clothes in the old style washer with the roller wringers to squeeze out the water and then hanging them on a clothes line in the sunshine to dry. 4. Riding the work horses bare back after they had finished their day plowing the fields. 5. Digging the toy out the Cracker-Jack box. 6. Using a bucket on a rope to draw the daily supply of water from a well everyday. 7. Out-houses! (I don't miss those...lol!) I am sure I'll think of more!

Helping my grandmother wash clothes in the old style washer with the roller wringers to squeeze out the water and then hanging them on a clothes line in the sunshine to dry. I remember helping my mother do this! We had metal trouser forms that went down inside the legs, and then we had to "sprinkle" or dampen everything and iron it. 4. Riding the work horses bare back after they had finished their day plowing the fields. 5. Digging the toy out the Cracker-Jack box. Ditto. 6. Using a bucket on a rope to draw the daily supply of water from a well everyday. My grandparents' well also had a big metal dipper that we used to get a drink of water as well. The coldest, best water ever. 7. Out-houses! (I don't miss those...lol!) I don't miss those either! I am sure I'll think of more! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
