Thanks for coming to my blog. I was away and really saw how people lived during the hard times of early immigration. We visited the Tenement Museum in New York Lower East Side. They have the apartments just like they were in the 1890s (no water, no light, etc.) and up to the early 1900s. I’ll have to do a post on it. We have come a long way since then.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-86111710500950098822010-10-18T23:26:01.977-04:002010-10-18T23:26:01.977-04:00I just found you through Ronni's blog and I mu...I just found you through Ronni's blog and I must tell you I have become an immediate fan!!millie garfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787056828424618917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-72922432251659486402010-10-18T07:42:24.961-04:002010-10-18T07:42:24.961-04:00Friko, I'm on my way.

It can't be true, it mustn't be true.<br /><br />You should live where I live. There are times when we lose electricity altogether and sit in the dark, with a portable gas lamp, fridges and freezers off, no heating, no cooking, just candles, blankets and open fires.<br /><br />We don't even have a gas connection.<br /><br />The joys of living in the depth of the countryside in winter.

I'm afraid I'd miss the feeling of the pages.

I recall the look of absolute horror when I told my grand children I had only black and white TV to watch as a kid. They just don't understand how good they have it.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-70456034610177561232010-10-17T08:05:36.323-04:002010-10-17T08:05:36.323-04:00I hate it when our cable goes out.

My daughter, Molly, took some offense at my title and the photo. I don't want anyone to think I'm making light of truly hard times, especially during these hard times. I was just trying to be funny.<br />It does, however, discombobulate me when my cable it out. I know, I'm a sissy.marciamayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185069576683872041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-60903633823476186242010-10-17T04:11:48.747-04:002010-10-17T04:11:48.747-04:00When electronic "stuff" doesn't work...When electronic "stuff" doesn't work, I feel completely disoriented.
