My generation has seen so many changes. I remember when an refrigerator was an ice box, and we went to the ice house to buy a block of ice.

We didn’t have computers, tv, or smart phones. In fact all our phones (if we were lucky enough to have one) were dumb.LOL

I remember going to the local telephone office to make a phone call and seeing the operators plugging into the telephone board.

Just thiniing about all the technological stuff makes my head spin. It’s been an interesting time for more than half a century.
