Oh, I don't miss those days! Those are some great "bath" pictures. Yes, I remember the baths in the tub in front of the kerosene stove. Oh, I don’t miss those days!

Saturday nights. That water would be so dirty I can't imagine that we were ever clean. My older brothers were first as they were always off somewhere for the evening. Then it was the younger boys and then my sister and I. I think the water was changed every 3 kids. By the time we got in there, there was no hot water and no dry towels. One bathroom and 10 kids. I think my parents were nuts for having so many children but you know those catholics! Actually there are only 9 of us and my cousin lived with us since he was 2. He had some real crappy parents who just left him with us and never came back to get him. Good thing my parents had the room.... in their hearts, not in the house. What's one more when there's 9 already. All the neighbourhood kids were at our house anyway. We sure did have “bath days”. Saturday nights.
