Walk Down Memory Lane... at least for Dad and I

Took the kids on a trip down Memory Lane. My memory that is. We packed up Popie and headed out to the "Property". Several acres of land that Dad and Mom owed while she was alive. The kids were not interested in the "Property" while has altered to much I wasn't sure we were there. About 1/4 mile down the road is an old school house that is on the historical registry. There the kids found a working water pump. "You mean the water comes from the ground"? Up your Dad and Uncle Stephen used to haul water to the "Property" for Dad. 
Checking out all the nooks, cranny's they found some cool old stuff (not), like roofing tile.
Like all schools there is always a swing. Now matter what era all kids know what to do the it.
Then the little building is discovered. "What is that"? That I said is an outhouse. "What is a outhouse"? Well, its where you go to the bathroom. "REALLY"? they all said at the same time.
"There is a hole in the bench. How do you flush it"? Well, you don't flush it just get mixed in with the dirt. "That's gross"!


Yup, you guessed. Keaton had to try it out. "Hey Nana, it works just like you said it would".
Keeps the cattle and horses in but not the kids.
