I Remember When...

[TRFrance]

I remember when we used to actually send letters to our loved ones (before emails came along).

Then I remember when the "clicker" really clicked. LOL All it did was change the channel but you could kill somebody with that thing.

Indeed... I even had a pen pal.

Her name was Shin Young Kim from North Korea.

Lost touch with her though... decades ago.

I remember when we used to walk up to the "record store". You don't do that any more.

They had lots of 45's

I also remember throwing rocks up in the air late on summer evenings so the bats would chase them to the ground.

We always had plans on catching one with a towel when they swooped down.

Thankfully we never realized all of our dreams and plans. Most of them would have landed us in a hospital.

Yes sir... everybody used to keep a "bacon grease jar" on the stove where you kept the prized commodity of bacon grease to flavor everything from mustard greens to cornbread.

I remember when my aunt first got married, (she was quite a bit younger than my dad), and she saved the grease from cooking hamburger meat, because that is what she thought her mom always did! The first hot summer day that came along, her kitchen smelled like someone had died in it!!! LOL!!

I remember when this old barn was alive and the center of a farm.

Now its empty and a prop for some really good pictures but not much else.

The old ways have kind of past.

This is the thing that I think is the saddest, when I was young I would take off on my bike during summer days, and spend all day roaming around, come when it was time for dinner, and no one ever worried.

There is no way I could ever let my daughter play alone in the front yard, much less roam around town unattended.
