While making cards with old photos I wonder about the people in the pictures - the babies must be feeling what babies feel today, but how different was it to be an adult in this city in 1926?
When I was out today I found myself looking for buildings and places these two might have seen. Certainly the salt air and ocean view would have been the same, but the 1920's era buildings still standing are surrounded by a very different city from the one they lived in. Looking through inherited cookbooks I see they even had different tastes in food - lots of things in aspic, entire sections of dishes for invalids, but the same emphasis on lots of produce and seasonal, fresh foods that we have today.
