I remember the 50's of Sunday afternoon drives and stopping to visit family friends or relatives. Home-cooked meals from "scratch" (no processed items in the kitchen). Riding bikes all over the neighborhood or town without fear. Playing outside and knowing to go home when it was beginning to get dark. Being told "if you get in trouble at school or community...you'll be in trouble with us at home!" I remember respecting those in authority (no talking back neither). Being in awe when the 1st televisions were being purchased. Hardly anyone had automatic dishwashers or air-conditioning in their homes. People walked more to get to places rather than jumping in a car.
