Outhouse
I wonder if there are any outhouses left in the state of Maine. When I was a young boy I spent all my summers at my Grandmothers home on Westport Island on the coast of Maine.
We had a beautiful outhouse located just beyond an apple orchard about 300 ft from the house.
This was a "Two Seater", I have never heard of two people using an outhouse together, but I suppose if you had to you had to, LOL.
There was always two current catalogs beside the hole, one was a Sears & Roebuck (whatever happened to Roebuck) the other was a Montgomery Ward, my Grandmother would also put the latest "Life Magazine" out there (it came in the mail). I liked the catalogs, I used to go through the "ladies underwear" section.
Also, every summer that I can remember, up in the corner of the ceiling there was a large "Spider Web" I used to sit and watch as this huge spider would slowly climb down to the center of his web and chew a Flys head off.
I had many happy moments in that old outhouse. My wife says "I have a strange mind"
