The good old days... Part 1 Somewhere in time...

I don't know how many times I've heard this expression by grandma, by my mother, you know you hear it plenty old times by the elderly.

But really stop and think about it, Were the good old days really good?

First of all don't get me wrong Ive always felt like I was never from this time. I have a love for anything vintage. I love old cars. I love old furniture antiques, even old wine. I love the old music. And I adore the old classics movie related.

So when I see these old movies I wish why wasn't from a different time? Everything seemed more honest, more simple, and the romance when courting, and opening a door for a woman or carrying a girls books to class, or dueling pistols for their love seemed more desirable.
And if a man wanted to date you or marry he would approach the girls father and asked permission first.
There wasn't too much unwanted pregnancies and if so everything was hush, hush. And you didn't hear of many divorces.

And the fashion of the women back then was so beautiful. The women actually wore their hair more feminine. up in combs, braids or twists.
And women wore these beautiful gowns or dresses, you knew when a woman was a female and the men were the male.

And the men seemed like gentlemen the way they dressed in the movies like Carry Grant they were so manly and handsome, you just don"t see that anymore...

Everything was so much fresher I hear the food even tasted better not with all these pesticides sprayed on them. Women baked everything from scratch. Remember grandmas fresh baked bread?
I don't think there was much pollution either.

What really fascinated me was there less crime? So I've been told you could even leave your doors and windows open or unlocked. No one would break in and rape or rob you.
And children didn't know how it was to be spoiled, imagine that perfect children. We could spank our children in public and never have the fear of a cop arresting you for abuse. I guess there was no such thing as child protection. Oh yes even the teachers were allowed to reprimand them.
I bet they got away with a Lott of things, remember that movie Jane Eire?

And let's not forget one of my old time movies"somewhere in time" the movie was about a love story that really took you back in time. Christopher Reeve had to even die to go back in time to be with his love... But I will discuss that in part 2.....
