Of course in those "good old days" Mom had a wringer washer and doing laundry was a two day job, one to wash and dry, one to iron and everything HAD to be ironed. Cooking a meal took at least an hour because nothing was boxed, prepackaged or microwavable. It took forever to get anywhere because "highways" were two lane and someone was always going 35 or 40. There really wasn't a choice as to what to watch on tv because only one of the three available channels came in without "snow".
It's good to reminisce but I like a lot of the things we have now, I just have to remind myself to slow down once in awhile.
