What did our parents do to pass time before the Internet was invented ?

@ronisme1 I remember in the late 50’s and early 60’s when we would visit with neighbor friends sometimes the lady would sit and do a little needlework while they were talking. Some people back then didn’t like to waste time. If there was a tv show on like Gunsmoke or Bonanza sometimes they’d come over and sit with us and watch the show. And oh yeah they loved championship wrestling and they would really get into to and start hollering. 😂 They even went to St. Joseph one time to watch a wrestling show.

@cherokeepatti i lived next door to the elementary school. The whole school would show up to play on weekends. In fact they threw all the balls into my back yard and waited for me to throw them back over to play with. No one at the school noticed until about 6 months later when i suppose they did a inventory. I remember the principle, vice principle and a police officer showed up at my front door on a sat.. they thought i stole all the balls. They watched thst friday. Everyone threw them into my back yard. So i played with my entire school, not just the neighbors
