I have received so many emails in the past that remembered "how it was" - but you ladies and maybe men - have brought up even more things that make my mind wander in such a good way!
Yes, we wore dresses - we pulled up our socks so they would touch the bottom of our dress hem so no skin was revealed BOY HAVE TIMES CHANGED!!
Before we got a tv we would gather in the "front room" and watch the radio! When we FINALLY got a tv the cabinet was soooo big and the screen was so small, but we felt sooo RICH! There were just a few programs on for maybe 2 or 3 hours a day - then there was snow!
Later - after lunch - my mother would lay on the couch with me and we would listen to her "stories" on the radio - like "The Legend Of Hilltop House" among others.
