I was not fortunate enough to experience all of that, one set of
grandparents did have a well for water and grew their own veg.  My other
grandmother had a wood stove for heat and no TV.  She'd make dried apple
pies from the apples that grew just behind the house.  She also had what
she called a "curiousity room" that contained old photo albums and several
old books that we could pass the time reading.
