Blueberries and Bears and My Brother's Shoes

Generations have passed but the chapters in this delightful book will remain embedded in the author's mind forever. Growing up in the1940s and 1950s is so far removed from growing up today that most children cannot even fathom life in those days.Electronics was not a word you heard used on a day to day basis. When parents wanted to call their kids home for dinner, they opened the door and yelled "dinner's ready." They didn't call them on a cell phone or send them a text.Second World War ended in the '40s and times were tough. Mothers stayed home and took care of the home while fathers worked ten to twelve hours a day to put food on the table.Even so, it was a less complicated time. Families sat down at the table and ate their meals together, while discussing the events of the day. Children were respectful of their elders and minded their manners or paid the price. And, in most cases, they went to church on Sunday mornings.To take a trip meant getting in the car and driving to a town to visit friends or relatives in a car that had no air conditioning.This book will take you back to those days and let you into the world of the unusual upbringing of the author, born generations ago.
