Just think-kids born in the last couple of years will never know a television with a tube in it-they'll probably think it's as weird as we think the old TVs from the 1950s are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-14114425882274740452010-12-18T20:39:42.593-06:002010-12-18T20:39:42.593-06:00Cute photo!

Sad.<br /><br />Marion, thanks for your comment that reminded me of this picture.<br /><br />Sister-Three, my theory is that the dishpan stayed in the soapy water longer than any of the dishes, so it was certainly clean enough to use for cooking. We lived in the city (Springfield), so we used the bathroom sink for washing faces and feet and for full-body sponge baths in between baths in the tub. Bathing in the tub every night would have been considered wasteful.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-13622927167103553442010-12-11T12:59:44.251-06:002010-12-11T12:59:44.251-06:00You can do so much with a dish pan even today.

Sort of sound gross...wash dirty dishes in it and cook in it too, but we did. We had a little foot dish pan for washing our face and then our feet...in that order. Did you all use one of those? Nothing was plastic back then and your used it on and on and then made a flower pot out of it!Galla Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765021266883258286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-40574387976831632912010-12-10T08:01:02.396-06:002010-12-10T08:01:02.396-06:00Isn't that something!

I have discovered several of my parents in their early marriage... odd sized photos, 2" x 2", etc., and so lovely in their silvery images. <br /><br />Also, that Butch photo?
