As long as we are taking a trip down memory lane, our family had an ice box
on the porch. Guy came around every week or so and put a 25 pound block of
ice in it. We didn't have a refrigerator until 1953. Our milk came from a
local dairy farm, gallon jar with a big lid. Jersey or Gurnsey or Brown
Swiss milk. Lots of cream. Mom used the cream to churn butter. Yum. I
raised bantam chickens, so we had eggs and an occasional surplus rooster.
We were poor as church mice, and a number of local hunters would give
us venison, elk, fish, ducks, etc. sometimes in season, even.
We grew a huge garden, canned and preserved all we grew. We didn't
know any other life. It was the way of life in a small logging town in the
foothills of the Cascades. But I'm none the worse for it, today.
