Your letters are an inspiration. I grew up in rural Canada with an outdoor backhouse, a well 200 yards from the house and a rain barrel to catch water from the roof. The latter was used for bathing and laundry . We used wood to heat the house, with a backup electric stove. Electricity was only available from the mid-1940s on.

Your challenges and your practical attempts to make life livable in difficult circumstances remind me of the old folks, and how we lived at that time. We never felt deprived and most of our thoughts were positive. Just like yours. I will continue to follow your positive story and wish you every success.
