The House My Mom Grew Up In

grand parents' old farm house

My mom, her sister, and her three brothers grew up in this house.  There was one bedroom downstairs for my grandparents, and a large bedroom upstairs for my mom, aunt, and uncles.

I lived in this house in 1965.  

The house had no outlets and no bathroom.  There was a three seat outhouse out back.  Only cold water in the kitchen.  The house was heated by an oil stove that also served as the kitchen stove, there was no oven.

The house did have ceiling lights though.

The floor and walls were unfinished bare wood.

My grand parents moved from this house in 1969.
