We had to walk to school, even alone! It was safer than. Had a black and white TV and yes, watched 3 channels. Saturday morning cartoons. My mother made coffee on the stove and yes slow cooked food. Nothing nuked. Washed and dryed dishes by hand. Had a clothes wringer on the round washing machine. All the kids on the blocked played together in the ally and we left garage doors open a lot with tables of food and snacks. We felt welcome in all the neighbors houses. Had to dress up for school. Had to dress up for church including hat or scarf. Went drive-in movies and drive-in diners. Had to be home before the street lights came on. Wonderful memories. :bigthumbsup:
