Excerpt from Maw's Vacation: The Story of a Human Being in the Yellowstone Times has changed, says Maw to her self, says she. Things ain't like what they used to be. Time was when I worked from sunup to sundown, and we didn't have daylight-saving contraptions on the old clock, neither. The girls was too little then, and 1 done all the work myself - cooking, sweeping, washing and ironing, suchlike. I never got to church Sundays because I had to stay home and get the Sunday dinner. Like eugh they'd bring the preacher home to dinner. You got to watch chicken it won't cook itself. Weekdays was one like ather, and except for shoveling sw and carrying more coal I never knew when summer quit and winter come. There was movies them days - a theater might come twice a winter, or sometimes a temperance lecturer that showed a picture of the inside of a drunkard's stomach, all redlike and awful. We didn't have much other entertainment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
