Amelia Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My grandmother using a ringer washer out on the back porch of their house. It was an inclosed back porch that also doubled as my fathers bedroom. It didn't look all nice and pretty like in this pic.

Amelia Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 See on the sign where it says Syrup of Pepsin? My grandfather use to take pepsin tablets regularly. They were itty bitty little bits and they came in brown bottles @ about 100 per bottle. Boy, the things you remember when the brain is nudged.

D. Allan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It was alway exciting for a small boy to watch a train like this arrive and leave at a small town depot. Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Allan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 There used to be one of these depots in even very small villages. Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted July 8, 2007 Members Share Posted July 8, 2007 Early 1900's Cross-Dressers These 4 sisters moved in to the city to get work and all lived in a large house around the turn of the century. The 4 brothers still worked out at the farm, but would come into town every so often and stay with their sisters. Apparently, someone thought it would be fun for the fellows to exchange clothes with the sisters and have their picture taken -- WITHOUT the knowledge of their VERY strict Lutheran father. There was even a story written about them in the town gossip newspaper....that there in the midst of town was a "House of Ill-Repute"..... Okay. Yes. These are my ancestors - Grandma is 1st row, 2nd from the right. Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

D. Allan Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Cool Pam! You're fortunate to have such a fun look at your ancestors. BTW your Grandma is the bestlooking and most regal one of them. Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
