THE WAY WE WERE......LOOKING BACK IS FUN

did this for years until the cat ate and pooped out a piece of tinsel. Not a pretty site lol 

don't recall. Do you have a pic 

don't recall anyone with that contraption. Looks like my great aunts washing machine lol

I used to use a mangle when I had to iron sheets. It was in the basement and my Mom put a TV down there for entertainment. That was huge because TV was kinda new. This was in the 1950s.

Here I was with my Mom in 1945...look at the fashions

My Dad took the picture after he had returned home from WWII.

Oh my, Lisa, your mom looks so chic! Love the little dress and I agree with Melissa, that picture is Gorgeous with a capital G!

my mother did the smocking,

If any of you sew for little girls there is a fabric store with a website called Chadwick's Heirlooms. They have tons of beautiful smocking & trims.

I've got a scar right between my eyes from 1960s aluminum frame sling style walker. picked it up and ran in it and went over the curb into the garden edging (also metal).

Remember when our Mothers wouldn't let us run under the sprinklers because it might cause Polio??

this is the way tennis was played about the 1890s..my grandfather on the left and my grandmother on the right

can you imagine playing in those outfits..

These always amazed me how they all fit into each other when I was a kid.

My sister is a teacher & she just commented Sunday that she'd feel a lot better about the first day of school if she could find her Partridge Family lunch box:)
