Ahh, the good old days, back in the “1900s” as my sarcastic children would say. I, for one, have always been grateful that I grew up before technology took over the world.
Grateful that my childhood was full of long bike rides with my friends and visits to our public library. Not that kids can’t do that today, but it’s not the same. They’d be receiving texts and social media notifications on that bike ride and well, it’s a lot faster to Google something than drive to the library.
But this post – this is for all of you, like me, who grew up in a different time.
Hope you enjoy this little walk down memory lane!
