I still don't drink milk, after to many warm bottles of school milk, I have started to hear my mother coming out of my mouth and can also remember, saying I will never get like my Mother, many years ago. I think the laugh is on me, now. Thank you so enjoyed, the trip back in time.<br />"Garden Whisperings"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04648243526968515324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-34695402609444756152013-10-11T16:05:41.177+10:002013-10-11T16:05:41.177+10:00Oh yes - I think I may remember the first time my ...Oh yes - I think I may remember the first time my mothers voice came out of my mouth and took me by surprise! I too still have my Mom (and am well aware of how lucky I am) and now and then someone will catch us standing the same way or smiling the same way. I used to be horrified and now I'm flattered. :) <br />She and I were discussing grandma's wringer washer and the tubs of rinse water it took to do laundry not too long ago, and how we used to run to the front of the house when we heard a car come down the road to see who it was, and if it was a stranger everyone on the road would speculate for weeks! We really were hicks!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-12085876572323231652013-10-09T20:36:01.489+10:002013-10-09T20:36:01.489+10:00Hi syrahsuzie!

I too was brought up in the 50's and 60's and apart from all that you mentioned I think the best part was [in hindsight] was the fact that we were children until we left school. We were not dressed as adults, allowed to sit indoors and listen to adult conversations ... "go outside and play!" ... did not have access to the telephone except for urgent calls and were expected to keep ourselves amused. Times have changed, and I suspect not altogether for the better ... or is that just the 'oldie' in me talking.

My hubby & talk about growing up in the 50's & 60's all the time. I remember having a transistor radio which I took to bed each Sunday night to listen to the top 20 those were the days such happy times & very little money.
