Sometimes people talk about the good old days and how simple life was back then. Have you ever really thought about how hard their lives were without the conveniences that we have today? I'm not very good at making bread (without a bread machine) besides all of the other "manual" things they had to do. I can't imagine sitting still long enough to churn butter. And chicken dinners! I'm afraid we wouldn't have chicken on the table very many times, if at all, if it were up to me to catch one and wring it's neck, plus all the other stuff that has to be done to turn it into a chicken dinner! I do remember my mother and grandmother doing this on the farm when I was very small. By the time I was old enough to help, they just bought them at the store.
My brother had an organic garden at one time. I told my SIL that I'm sure she must be enjoying the fresh vegetables, especially the tomatoes. She said "Yes, they're good, but they cost about $28/lb.!" :)
I am thankful for the time in which I am living. A pioneer woman I'm not. Obvisously, Lucy and Ethel weren't either.
Enjoy!
Love,
P.S. Blogger wouldn't allow me to break this post into paragraphs. Sorry that it is all run together.

That was fun. I would make a lousy pioneer woman, they worked so hard to do many of the simple things we take for granted.
Yes, I'm glad to live in the time we do, and not as a pioneer woman. Maybe we could be considered pioneer blogger women? What do you think?
Wasn't Lucy the greatest ever? There's never been another comedienne like her!
And you are right, I NEVER would have made it in the good ole days. As Luke's granpa used to tell him, "Son, you're living in the good ole days!"
I love me some I love Lucy!! I don't see how they survived back then! I was just thinking about this the other day too. I love my dishwasher!!!
