I remember ice being delivered for those who had an ice box. There was no television or electronic games. The games we played were either made or bought at Kress on Fort Street near Pauahi Street, and they filled our days with childhood abandon. The girls usually played with beanbags and jacks, paper dolls and skip ropes. My favorite movie houses were in the general vicinity and were the Roosevelt, American, Liberty, Princess and Hawaii theaters.
Movies cost only a dime.
Shared water Family life was very simple in those years, and the little things that we now take for granted we enjoyed very much. I remember the adults scolding us to take a shower before entering the furo. The furo was split into the men's side and the women's side, but we shared the same water. I could go on and on about the good old days, and yet I enjoy the modern conveniences that make our lives so much easier now. But to truly appreciate what we now take for granted, we had to live and experience the past.
