The Ice House

Remember when you use to have to go to the icehouse and get a block of ice for the refrigerator? Or perhaps you were part of the old-time tradition where folks use to go and cut huge chunks of ice out of the river and carry them home. Remember when we didn't have an electric icemaker because we didn't have any electricity, let alone a refrigerator?
