Some days I so wish that the clock could be rolled back several decades to what I see as a better, vanished time. The world was somewhat friendlier, people had respect for each other, and children like myself actually went outside and played with the other neighborhood kids. We built tree forts, underground forts, rode our bikes everywhere together, and even built our own bikes! today’s world is not the world in which I grew up in… What happened?
I’m getting a late start on the blog this morning as my garage door lift gave up yesterday, a brand new system was installed this morning very early. The old system was thirteen-years-old and lived a good life but all things end. 😂
I completely agree. I feel sorry for my nieces and nephews, even more so during the pandemic when they’re cooped up indoors. While they have more fancy toys, they’re not getting the same experiences we did when we were young to just be kids, make mistakes, play outdoors, and get messy.
Exactly, I hope they can be free soon!
Oh, sweet memories! I remember those all, and still living. Good times they were, moms were at home taking care of children, and it was the most important thing in our lives.
1) Nostalgia’s not what it used to be. 2) How did we cope?
Because it was normal in that day! 😂
Times have sure changed, and not always for the better.
That’s so true and it stinks…
So many good memories!
Yes indeed! I wanna go home to those years…
Lots of nostalgia there, John.
Yeah, scenes from a better, vanished time, right? Can we go back please!
We caught frogs – ON THE TRAIN TRACKS. 😂 They were not perfect times, but they were good times.
Why were the frogs on the rails? Not safe! 😂
Because the rails were cool in the summer? Ya think! I would have a fit if I saw my grandkids playing on train tracks but we all did it in small town Saskatchewan.
Those rails could be hot! When my son and daughter were little, we used to visit the CN Depot and watch the trains. I would put coins on the rails so the trins would crush them. The kids thought it was so cool! I wonder if they still have the coins…
Sounds like fun😂
Good memories!
Brings back memories of our childhood. John.!!
Exactly! Wouldn’t it be so wonderful to go back to those years, Anita?
