I remember a time of large family gatherings, a time where family helped each other in a time of need no matter what. Kids respected their parents and parents took pride in their children. I remember more peaceful times, people going to church, didnt lock doors at nite, could take evening walks, greeting people sitting on their porch swings or chairs on a Sunday afternoon, a time of community Friday nite fish frys, black rotary phones with 2 digit numbers, local operators if needed to call outside your town, doctor house calls, penny peanut machines or gum ball machines. It was a time of giving not just at christmas time. Growing our own veggies and preserving them for the winter. Had to be home from dates by midnite. church dances for teens , getting our mail at the post office, no process foods or fast food restaurants other than A and W. Oh and cant forget the argyle socks and the cashmere sweaters. Oh what a time it was!!!
