I'm homesick for our childhoods....we must mostly be in the same age neighborhood....similar memories. I think I remember all of that except for the colored film over the TV..too funny. Didn't have that one.
Do you all think that sense of peace and contentment will ever return? My grandsons are so tuned in to their video game devices that they don't notice us when we visit them..so sad.
I taught school for close to 20 years, 7th-10th. Man, what a shock to be in schools today after being raised in a strict school environment like you mentioned above...no respect for anybody. So sad. So hard to teach kids who don't act like they want to learn. Sad that the young lady above had such a bad experience in school. No solution in sight, either. Society has to get a grip on respect for authority, parental responsibility, etc. Young people might laugh at our simple lives from the past, but we were blessed to have lived them. Think I'll go sit on the front porch "a spell." LOL
