You must have had a great mom, podunklander...lol
It was fun for awhile but it sure wore off. I would heat a pan of water on the wood stove(thank goodness we had that!) and would then have to decide what I wanted to do with it as it was such a rare treasure.

We do take so much for granted these days. I try to recycle, drive a small car, grow a garden and "go green" in all kinds of ways but I don't fool myself much about my efforts.
We still have an awful long way to go when it comes to undoing the damage we have done to our home planet. I am spoiled and use way more than I need to but it's awfully hard to go without once you have had all the perks that make our lives so easy these days.
We have a generator now so we will never have to go without the basics for long...lol. My face still turns white when the weatherman mentions an ice storm.
