Stories from long ago aren’t just a piece of history. They give us a window into a completely different world than the one we currently live in. One of my favorite stories that Hazel, age 101, shares is when she was a teenager living in Washington, DC in 1921. She and a friend go swimming near the Washington monument and afterwards decide to take a stroll over to the White House. I won’t spoil the story but know that the amazing thing that happened next would never happen in today’s world!
