I remember having a huge window fan that sucked in air, and you didn't have air conditioning but somehow you still felt cool.
I remember sticking to the wooden pews in church in the summertime. When you stood up, you had to peel your clothing away from the pews.
I remember little bluebird pins that you got for your birthday at church and you put your pennies in the bucket for your birthday years.
I remember my grandpa & grandma's house in the country where there was no indoor toilet until I was 8 or 9, and then you were only allowed to flush if you did more than pee.
I remember helping my grandma make candles and making lye soap, which they used for everything from washing hair to doing laundry in the wringer washer.
I remember when we ran out of toothpaste, we used a rag with salt on it, or baking powder.
I remember always having red patches somewhere on my skin because they thought mercurocome (sp.) or methiolade could cure anything.
Does anyone remember the products: Dusharme (for hair tangles) or Ungentine (an antibiotic spray)??? I can still remember exactly how they smell right now!!
