I remember and sometime appreciate the memories. I remember driving miles to find a pay phone, of having to go to the library and calculators were considered cheating in a class……...

I remember the sound of a crackly old public telephone that was a half mile down the street. It used to cost 4 Pence (4 big shiny copper pennies) in the days before we had decimal currency.I remember the sound (In the distance) of the electric trams that we had here in Brisbane as they ground up the hill to the terminus at The Grange. I remember the sound of the cattle as they were herded up into the milking barn at milking time every day.4 A.M. & 4 P.M.

I remember the "sounds" of these kinds of

activities. Pretty rare now. Some poor little

child could get injured and we mustn't have that!

This is better and so much safer.....

Yes, many fond memories. Note the extended family appears to be saying grace and there are no "modern conveniences" to distract them from sharing some time together.
