Ahhh yes, The ole outhouse. We had one on the farm wherew I grew up till it was moved inside guess I was about 16 at the time. Remamber quite well the snow sifted across the seat! Tended to make one get their business done quickly and get out! In the back ours had a couple boards rotted off close to the ground. I would sneak up and use a curved stick to touch the "occupant" on the butt. Funny as all get out but not for the one that thought they had gotten bitten!. Course in those days I could run very fast!! (Such a bad girl)

But atleast you have in me, a delayed wannabe, who did get to see the relics of old days, in my teen years visiting their old towns and old relatives with their outhouses, and simple, hardworking way of life. I can extend their stories another generation atleast, while expecting my child to do the same.
