I remember how hard it was for my grandmother. Wringer washer may be fun when you were a child but it's drudgery when it had to be used all the time, even in winter. No clothes dryer, clothes had to be hung up and taken down in winter too, clothes had to be ironed, no permanent press fabric. No dishwasher, someone had to wash the mounds of dishes and cooking pans. Mops had to wrung out by hand. Do you know who hard that is to do that twenty or more times per mopping? Older cars were did not have the safety features we have today. Old gas engines that were easy to fix drank gas. We couldn't afford to drive one today. Mom and Pop stores that only sold what they wanted to sell not what you wanted. The things I miss is because I was a child and miss the memories of them. Not the doing of them. My kids say the same thing about missing things from their childhood.

One thing I wish I could bring back is the quality of education that was in the grade schools then.
