Going to the closed local bakery back door and pay the baker .09c for a loaf of hot bread. Going down the basement and turning the wine press full of grapes to make cider towards making WINE. Cider was delicious. One dip ice cream cone for .03c, double dip .05c, triple dip for .10c. GOOD old days. NOW you know what OLD is really like. Stefhen

I remember when we didn't go out to eat fast food. It was the rare exception instead of a way of life.

I remember when U.S. coins were the envy of the world. Beautiful and artistic has now become cheap and cheesy!! From Silver and Nickle to pot metal garbage.

I remember when men made their own shaving cream. When I was young my grandfather use to stir something up in a cup stir it with a brush and then put the foam stuff on his face and shave with a real razor blade. I tried, but it didn't workout that well for me lol
