So glad you enjoyed it @rebeccabe! I watched a doc on Netflix about Mister Rodgers the other night, he was all about providing security to children and making them feel that they were perfect the way they were. This was the feeling I had during my young childhood in the 70's. I was lucky, even back then it was getting more rare.
Wow, I bet that age gap made things interesting around the house! That time did seem a lot simpler, didn't it? Everything seemed less extreme back then, even the music on the radio. If I had to describe the biggest difference between then and now that would probably be it.
So glad you're enjoying this series! Your comments are always appreciated.
you are welcome ... I agree those were different times.
