I'm glad I was born in the 30's

Why, time moved a lot slower then. This was, without question, the SHORTEST Summer I have experienced. It used to be a LONG TIME between the last day of one school year, and the first day of the next. Some people used to rent a cabin on a lake somewhere for the whole month of August. Now, you can't, school starts in August.

The "Long Hot Summer" is now just a blink of the eyes. A month ago, Walmart started their "Back to School" displays and I thought they had jumped the gun, but no, school around here starts tomorrow. Halloween costumes are already on display, time sure flies.

No, I get to live a lot longer than kids of today will, can't explain it, but it has to be true.

Football season is right around the corner, colder weather, then Winter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and it will soon be Easter. Don't forget the World Series and the Super Bowl, hey, it will soon be Spring.

My memories are on old photographs, taken on a Kodak Brownie, developed at the corner drug Store, and pasted into scrapbooks, viewed on many occasions whatever the occasion, when company or relatives came over, the scrapbooks came out, they still do today. They will last forever.

Now look at what they have for memories, discs, what a shame.
