I miss the simplicity of yesterday. Being able to walk to the store amd school, knowing all your neighbors, parents who disciplined their children and children who listened. We had less in material things but more of things that really matter. A lot of the younger generation today have no respect for themselves or anyone else.

If we could magically transport ourselves back to the early/mid 50's this question would be moot. Wasn't life so much simpler then? Simpler and so much more enjoyable - we even had Presidents who cared about the people (will THAT ever happen again?). Weren't we fortunate to have shared that wonderful time???

The freedom we had in our childhood, to play at the other end of the block with all the kids in the block together at one place or another and we were safe. Nobody worried because we were gone for hours playing hide and seek and Eenie Einey Over and Statue and May I?. Our parents didn't worry about us as there were no threats to children in those days.

My husband misses all the wildlife (pheasants, quail, many species of song birds) he was able to see when he was younger. He could walk for at least three miles before he came to another house. Today all new streets and mega houses with no one around.
In the late 1940's and early 50's my sisters and I would do errands for our neighbor to the local stores and she would give us a dime! She always said, "Let's see how long it takes you and if you fall down don't wait to get up'! so silly!
