When I was a kid play grounds had jungle gyms, merry-go-rounds, metal slides, teeter totters and swings, all of which have vanished. I also walked to school and took long bike rides, which kids can’t do anymore. I thank God that I spent my childhood in the 1950’s and not in the 21st century.
AMEN !
Agree! In the late ‘40s-mid ‘50s, we boys wore old cut-off jeans, with no shirts or shoes in the Summers. Played baseball, rode our bikes for several miles on tar-topped roads to a lake where we would fish and swim (no adult supervision) and got into all kinds of mischief. ...The soles of my feet were like tanned leather.
