The Walton's


The Hallmark Channel Is Beginning To Show Re-Runs Of The Walton's. What A Wonderful Show. In Order To Watch Anything Today Worthwhile You Have To Watch Re-Runs Of Shows They Made 20-30 Years Ago Or Even Longer.
I'm Not Old Enough To Remember Life As The Walton's Knew It. Life Seemed Much Simpler Back Then. I'm Sure People Still Had Their Problems. It Always Appeared Families Were More United Back Then. Today Life Is So Busy And Family Got Lost In The Shuffle.
I'm Not Sure If I Had The Opportunity To Go Back In Time In The Days Of The 1930's-40's, I Would Want That. We Tend To Enjoy The Comforts Of Modern Day Life.
Back In The Day We Were Without Modern Day Activities That Took Our Focus Away From Family Unity. You Could Sit On The Porch With The Rest Of The Family And Talk About The Day. You Talk About Your Plans For Tomorrow. A Family Distraction Would Be Getting Caught In The Rain During A Family Picnic. Your Dog Getting Into A Fight With A Raccoon. Those Were The Days When You Never Had To Lock Your Door. Today We Don't Feel Safe In Our Homes.
Oh Yes, We Can Sit Back And Enjoy These Shows On Television And We Can Escape Our Present Days Worry. Even If It's For A Little While....
Goodnight John Boy.....

Good Night Mary Ellen....
