If you 're my age....I remember my grandmother taking care of her aging in- laws, canning, killing chickens that could no longer produce eggs, cooking food in the Summer on a wood stove for the 6 children, their spouses and the 12 grandchildren, the two Great-Grandparents,
not only housekeeping her house, but her in- laws house at the back of my grandparents lot in Santa Monica, CA . I remember the only entertainment as being a radio. I would sit on my Pampa's lap while he listened so intently to baseball games while holding his pipe in his mouth. I have those favorite pipes and cherish those memories from a time in the past that my grandchildren will never experience. I often wonder how my grandchildren will explain what life was like in the 21st Century to their grandchildren.... And I wonder too , what will happen and how much will change in this century .
