House Calls

Have you ever wondered why the doctor stopped making house calls? Why the milk man no longer exists or comes to your house? Well... women got cars. Homes went from having one car that Dad took to work to having two cars. Once Mom got her own car, she was free to drive the kids to the doctor and drive herself to the store for milk during the day while Dad worked. Would we all like to live in the 1950's? Was it so wonderful then? No it wasn't. Life wasn't easier by any stretch. People lived without modern conveniences that we've grown to love (microwaves, dryers, remote control TVs, air conditioners, cell phones, computers, GPS to name a few). Children had fewer sports and activities available to them and girls had even fewer still. So we won't sit here on this blog and pretend the 50's were wonderful. What we will do, though, is showcase some of the ideals and morals that did exist then and pass along ways you can impart them today. Hopefully, as we share information and ideas, we can make your life a little bit easier.
