You have quite the gift for 'captioning' photographs. Well done!

I don't get how you saw it then. There's no way you're old enough.
The radio was big & made of wood . I can still hear the whistles & humming
when tuning in the dial.
My favorite was the baseball games .
With just a stick & whatever we could find that resembled a ball is all that was required.
There were no adults supervising or making us wear "baseball uniforms"
...it was fun.
I know that this is a cultural thing, but we do not wear shoes in the house. Slippers/ sandals are OK<snip>
don't wear your "sunday go to meetin'" clothes around the house, you change from your "work clothes" when you come home into your "farm clothes." Despite not having lived on a farm for fifteen years, I cannot break this habit. In fact, I'm sitting on my couch now in "farm clothes," which are typically ratty things that haven't made the rag bucket yet. If I go out (shopping, etc.) I change.
I grew up in rural Florida. When I moved away, I was always unnerved by front doors in houses in other regions for some reason.That reminds me of my grandparents' houses in Florida. They each had porch swings also.
Up here we have storm doors, not screen doors. They're equipped with interchangeable panels that swap out -- screens in summer, double-thick glass in winter. If you leave the screens in over the winter, it's amazing how little time it will take before your inside door starts to rot. Don't ask me how I know this.
I can honestly say I can't recall the last actual letter I got from anyone...Seems like no one writes letters these days !
I write a letter to my Grandma at least once every 6 weeks or so. I'm 32 & she's in her mid 80s.
I am.If you're single I have no idea why.
I lost my Grandmother (my last living grandparent) in 2000. I'd give anything to be able to write to her...I write a letter to my Grandma at least once every 6 weeks or so. I'm 32 & she's in her mid 80s.
