A lot of you would classify indoor plumbing, central heat, grocery money and gasoline as ‘needs’ But wait, are they really always needs? Each morning, she pumped the well pump to fill a bucket with water to use for washing hands, drinking and cooking that day. Absolutely not! My Grandmother was born in 1898.

Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. Kids did chores and not all of them were ‘safe’ My brother mowed the lawn with a homemade electric lawnmower. People cooked and ate at home.
