Scenes from the Past...

I'm a 60s child too, I've often thought exactly the same as you, the 20s seemed fabulous years, with all that great music.

Oh, Meryl,
We missed The Charleston....
Why did this happen to us. Why??????

Because your mommy didn't want you to get the measles, polio, tuberculosis.

Oh, dragnlaw,
One of the few good things of being alive today is I got to meet you here on this board. (((Hugs)))

I thought it was a thread to post old pictures - not necessarily of us...idk.

@Aunt Bea If that picture is you, you are cuter than biscuits! (You may still be cuter than biscuits even if it is not, but the picture is adorable.)

@dragnlaw I think I inhaled more of the snow while stenciling than what hit the window.

No, that’s not me but I am rounder than a biscuit.

The picture reminds me of learning to cook in my grandmother’s kitchen,

I remember me being smaller and the chair being bigger.

Shorpy has some wonderful photos of the world that I grew up in.

And she didn't want you to live through the Great Depression. Both of my parents were young adults through that (so born before the Roaring 20s) and they told stories about how rough that was.

That could be my aunt and my grandpa. He was a milkman delivering milk to individual homes before he opened an ice cream shop. She told me stories about going there after school and getting in the way lol

Saddle Shoes! Wow, privileged kid! My older sister had them and I was jealous - but then the penny loafers came along - I would buy a pair again in a snap - they were super comfy and fitted right to your foot.

I certainly do. Too bad the price isn't visible, then I could narrow down the year. I first saw it at 39 cents/ pound.

My Grandmother was one of those scofflaws that used to help herself to a piece or two, just to be sure that it was fresh.

I had to move this post! Wrong place!

 

[mseaglecook]

I didn't know Atlantic City was a state

 

[dragnlaw]

Neither is Canada nor Chicago!

New York City and two Kansas.

Think they just wanted to see those pearly teeth and crooked necks.
