Mrs. Kaeb, "Grandma" from the Lowell Historical Museum came to share all about what is was like "way back when." We learned that life wasn't so easy. She taught students about the daily jobs. Monday's washing was not like it is today, and students even got to try it on their own! This was HARD WORK! I said, my boys would be re-wearing their clothes! Tuesday was ironing. Wednesday was mending... hmmm... what is THAT? Thursday was cleaning. Friday was churn, which we also got to do and it was MUCH EASIER with that neat little machine that she had! We tasted our butter on crackers, rolled pie dough out, and played lots of different games. When it was time to leave the kids did NOT WANT TO!!
