I Remember Back in the Day

When there was only one car per family, and no matter how many family members there were, it sufficed very well. If both parents were working,they managed to schedule themselves so they could each go to work, and in those days, the kids walked to school. Some of those schools were kind of far away from home, and when there was snow and the weather was below zero,we walked anyway. I remember getting to school sometimes and my hands would be so cold I could hardly open my hall locker, or upon returning home, I would have to soak my feet/hands in cold water to stop them from hurting. When going to the store, movies, etc., family members often went together, or our parents would send us to the store, but of course there were a lot of neighborhood stores. I don’t don't remember hearing anyone complaining about needing more than one car. In those days, you were blessed to have one car, much less two. Writing his blog is bringing back some very fond memories about my childhood. I will have to elaborate on this some day when I’m ready for everyone to know how really ancient I am. LOL
