I see my young sisters in-law sitting around with their friends and they're all staring at their phones. It's hard not to romanticize the past, especially seeing the environmental cost of our choices to make life more convenient.

Chuckling at the recounting of the "music" that turned out to be the Good Humor Man rather than someone's device. :) I can relate to so many of these memories....we recently uncovered a video I made when our son was just starting 5th grade (he's 42 now) of the house, neighborhood, and schools our children had been in and were in then. I'd forgotten all about that old VHS taped video. We thought we were going to move away because of a job change -- but the job didn't materialize and we continued to raise our children in that home, until they'd both graduated from high school. We had the tape made into a DVD and then watched it.....oh my. Talk about witness to changes. There was our wall rotary phone. Our beloved dogs, long gone. I even zoomed the camera in on mementos on shelves, the dressers in our kids' rooms, etc. And hour's worth of memories. We had copies made for our kids and recently watched them with their children marveling at seeing their parents rooms etc. So glad we had occasion to make the video (I borrowed a camera from the library at the time) -- and so wish I had something like this showing the inside of my childhood home. Your words should be passed on to your family! :)lillianthehomepoet.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664830773553716989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-42815688948156897982018-10-30T04:52:13.009-07:002018-10-30T04:52:13.009-07:00Wow, these changes are quite extraordinary in thei...Wow, these changes are quite extraordinary in their experience and adoption. In my 20-something years of existence, I am already bewildered by the swiftness of these transitions today — it falls way too short of all that you have seen and lived.
