Always thankful for the 'simple magic' of yesterdays. Those memories that bring back feelings of warmth and goodness and remind us of how impressionable we were in our younger years. Enjoyed these images and your message. Thanx 4 sharing.

Jewels in the mind's treasure trove indeed. As a teacher for over half century, I do remember the old chalk and eraser days. Only yesterday, I was explaining how I used to run off paper exercises on some sort of copy machine, I forget what we called it, That I would type up on special paper, this before the days of the Zerox copy machine. The days long gone, but the memories still survive.

I have found old photographs can bring into sharp focus old memories in the dusty dimness of my mind. A few years ago my mother sent a few mementos going back to my birth clothes and statistics for the first couple years. Some words written on paper. Some documents. And some objects she collected after I stopped using or needing them.

But today's children have a photo record that will be on the Internet for a very long time of all of the activities, large and small, important or not, that they participated in, if only just selfies with others in locations diverse. When they reach the time of reflection like you and I, they can pull up a hologram of thousands of events chronicled by both images and recording of their voices. It will be very hard to have dusty memories for them.

Makes me wonder what life will be like in the next century if we survive to see it. And I believe we will and they will laugh at what we call science fiction movies today using comic book characters and children's toys as characters.
