(that seems an awkward way to form that sentence :-)<br /><br />Yes indeed. That much rain over and here where I live down the road from you, usually we get a bit more. It's usually hotter, colder by 2 degrees or so and wetter or drier by however much.<br />xxoRamblingonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796934980023316493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-3185885530907202882013-07-09T14:05:55.082-07:002013-07-09T14:05:55.082-07:00This looks like such a fun place to visit!

The cast iron stove reminded me of one my maternal grandmother had in her house -- it dated back to 1911. She was a whiz cooking on it.<br /><br />Denver has a wonderful Children's Museum, too, but it is more of a play place with exhibits the children can play with. Someday I will have to blog about it. <br /><br />I wish the east coast could send some extra rain to the west--we could use it here!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-18101705346903984342013-07-08T19:48:14.551-07:002013-07-08T19:48:14.551-07:00I can't believe how much rain you have had, Ne...I can't believe how much rain you have had, Nellie.

Oh, I would love to buy one of the old stores up here and fill it with history! That last item is a washing machine. Some had a stick stuck in a slot in the middle for the old agitators to fit through. They had a wood handle and looked like a plunger, but were metal for hand pumping up and down to move the clothes around. This one here, you just rocked from side to side to get the clothes clean. ;)Tetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697150195734655635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-12670854535111219872013-07-08T13:09:04.169-07:002013-07-08T13:09:04.169-07:00The last one... let's see... two handles, one ...The last one... let's see... two handles, one on each side and it looks moveable and has an opening at the top... my guess, washing machine.

Looks like the perfect museum to browse. I'm sorry that you are continuing to be plagued by rain. Your rain sounds like our horrible flooding this past spring in MI.

The model she had only had one long warmer oven at the top and I remember carrying in water from the well and pouring it in the long container on the left to heat water. That was our hot water tank. lol...<br /><br />That looks like a newer model of butter churn. Ours was round and there was a hole in the cover and we pulled and pushed the beater rod up and down and us kids would take turn to churn the butter. What fun. <br /><br />Wishing you some sun.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-21430357690864497162013-07-08T08:02:59.592-07:002013-07-08T08:02:59.592-07:00what an interesting place! i think that is a doug...what an interesting place! i think that is a dough bin.jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-6049283982677002462013-07-08T07:52:04.613-07:002013-07-08T07:52:04.613-07:00Cool place to take the Grands!!

I'm sure they enjoyed learning about the uses of the many unfamiliar items. Of course, you and I can recall using a "range" similar to the one pictured when we were growing up. I could never figure out how the cook always knew what the proper heat would be, but we rarely had any disasters. Thanks for this trip down Memory Lane!
