Now instead of sawing wood you can saw ice from a pond in winter and save for summer. I can remember ice houses and the ice man with a piece of burlap over his shoulder carrying ice with his ice tongs. Kids would run to the back of the Model A Ford truck to get a piece of ice to suck on. There were always a lot of small pieces because large cakes were cut into smaller pieces to fit ice boxes. Can you picture carrying 50 or100 pounds of ice up 5 floors which they did in NYC?

Its like what grandpa says about the outhouse, it was how life was back then. Didn't know any different. Life was a little more simple then. Musta been nice in a sense.

The Curran Homestead is coming by to pick up some manure for their gardens. I'll ask them if they still have ice from this winters harvest. I think they planned on having enough to run the ice box for the whole year.
