Remembering things from the years gone by recreates some a very special time for all us Baby Boomers. If you don’t remember stick with me as we stroll down Memory Lane. Then, let us all know what you think about the 1950s/1960s and how us Boomers grew up. So many wonderful things existed back then. Life was much simpler or was it. There are pros and cons to every era. 
Things were simpler because we were just kids and our parents took care of everything as we ran around freely just being kids. We played on the streets till the street lights came on. We drank from the hose when we played outside. We could walk to the library, movies, or school alone with no worries. Rode our bicycles everywhere. No name brand anything to keep up with. Played outside barefoot running wildly catching lightening bugs. Simply eating cherries in the backyard on lawn chairs as a family chatting away. We were taught no matter what our job may be, president of a large company or janitor mopping floors, we were to do the very best job possible. It was harder because we were instilled with “Duck and Cover” courtesy of Bert the Turtle. There was an imminent fear of destruction during the Cuban Missile Crisis. School reminded us with “Duck and Cover” drills. Television reminded us with Bert the Turtle Civil Defense announcements. The memories are evocative while looking at these photos of a time not so long ago. It all brings back the smells, sounds, tastes and feelings of a life that once was. Oh how the world has changed but I’ll leave that up to the next generation of kids to tell you all about it.
What a difference from then and now.
