Life Magazine - 1954

[packman]

Just a pleasant trip back when getting the Life magazine was something to look forward to. I was drawn to this particular issue because of an article of a diary farmer and his barn cats (about page 161).

1. I remember watching my grandpa and uncle doing that with their cats.

It was warm milk straight from the source.

2. I have a whole stack of old Life and Look magazines

They were my Aunt and Uncle's. I know I could just toss them into the recycle, but I am still determined to read through each and every one, before I decide how to dispose of them.

3. Possibly put them on eBay when finished, collectors might want them. I do that with many things,

not to make money, but to get them into the hands of people that want them.

4. Good idea - I think my bro has an eBay account

I love to mine some of the old Good Housekeeping ones I've found for recipes.

5. The mags I found hard to throw away was the Nat. Geo

I remember talking to a school librarian who hated them. She said she would get boxes of them several times a year from people reluctant to pitch them and she's have the custodians burn them or throw them in the school dumpsters.

6. That's so sweet. The picture brings back really good memories for me and that's not easy to do

these days. In the 1950's, when I was a horse-loving little girl, I used to spend my afternoons at a farm and treat their work horse, Nellie, to endless hours of grooming and plenty of carrots and apples. That seems like such a simpler time, but I think we tend to only remember the good things.
