Now that I'm about 172 years
old, I marvel at the changes I
have witnessed in my own life
span.
We got our first phone when I
was 10; a three-way party line.
Now, our cell phones fit in the
palms of our hands!
At about the same time, our
town had one black and white
television station. Today, there
are hundreds and hundreds.
Mostly, dads worked and moms
stayed at home, rarely seen today.
She cooked proper sit down meals,
both breakfast and supper. Fast
food and take out reign today.
Our parents didn't even have to
give permission for our small pox
vaccines; we got them at school.
I can't even imagine the law suits
this would bring about today.
Special services in education were
just beginning and today there are
so many categories it boggles the
mind. For these, I am most thankful.
School lunches were homemade and
absolutely delicious. Methinks today's
smack of pre-packaging.
And no computers, just ribboned
typewriters. Long distance phone
calls were prohibitive and telegrams
quite fun.
Sooooo not saying the good old days
were better, just find the changes
quite interesting.
days of yesteryear
nostalgia reigns eternal
good better or best
