You sound like my mother, too. In fact you sound like me. We don't have to return to the past to get a good, warm feeling from visiting it.

Yes indeed, Kathy . . . I don't care what anyone says, no one can look back on today as a "Remember When"

"Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind. Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine". Memories, some are so fine, some are not. The dregs of our memories tend to settle to the bottom of our memory kegs where we recall them very infrequently. I see you have lost none of your great poetic touch. There is an air of innocents in your poem that is refreshing. Thanks. Jon Michael Willey

Yes, I remember and it brings sadness for our children and children's children will never "remember when". Loved this write, Love, Bonnie

Ah, yes, I well remember all the things you mention. Those truly were the good old days and sadly we didn't realize it as strongly while we lived them as we do now. Good write.

Well looking back although we had plenty of hardships I think I would give anything if my children and grandchildren could experience even half the things we done. I mean if you tell a teenager who says he/she is bored in the winter to go tobogganing they look at you as if to ask if you are nuts. LOL

Things didn't have a price tag on them so much back then or perhaps the tag was high and our parents didn't live outside their means. Anyway great write that conjured up lots of memories Kathy...well done.

Remember when...I love thinking about the days growing up with eight siblings. There was always an adventure and creative ways for rainy days. It has to return one day. It can't go on in the path everything is now. It isn't best for our children. Thank you for the nostalgia. WE need it all back in front of ua today.
Blessings and love,
Susan

Dear Kathy, thank you forthe piece of Nostalagia as a child Nonna used to love to tell me of when she could go to the movies, (when they were silent) and get a treat of ice cream all for a dime
God Bless

Dear Kathy, this reminds me, we were a dozen of cousins and when the money was tight, and we could hardly pay the tickets for the movies, all the cousins didn't enter before all the cousins could pay their tickets. Everyone would chip in and give his last franc (French money). Sometimes, when we finally succeeded to gather the sum needed, the movie had already stared. No one complained. We were all happy.

Laughter, and a bit of tears, for the good ole days - I remember when the neighborhood kids would get together for a game of baseball; everyone knew each other; we'd check on our neighbors; they were not strangers, but friends ... sigh. Not any more ... a beautifully poignant rememberance - very well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
