This collection of stories of a family of seven children, growing up in the 1950s, shows the way it was in everyday life in bygone days. Kids today do not know what they don't know. Masterly they use today's electronics and modern conveniences with no idea what it would be not to have them, nor how they came to be. A note from the author: Inspired by watching my teen-granddaughter texting with her cell phone, I told her how amazing today's technology was and that when I was her age our telephone was on a party line. She wanted to know if I went to the party. Her non-understanding of what I was talking about prompted the writing of this book.
