This represents Americana of bygone years. We were so innocent a nation back in 1945 when this appeared in Parent's Magazine.

This was before my time, but I enjoy looking and thinking how much people's daily lives have changed. There was no cell phone, no video games, no "business". There WAS family dinners together, pets to play with and take care of, board games to play, and regular schedules -- not so fast paced.

Just thinking about it -- they didn't have this keyboard and computer on a table in their house with each family member waiting their turn for it.

I could go on and on, but I think I will just enjoy this picture and explore more like it for a while on my computer.
