Vivid descriptions of your time and place, and they were just right for the furniture and furnishings of the 1940s. One wonders what the children of today will remember as being homelike. Best wishes for your entry.

What a fun concept. It would be exciting to visit the places of our youth and see if they measure up to our memories. But as you point out, it would be difficult to refrain from interacting with people we know in the past, including ourselves. Oh, the things we could tell them. And the questions we would love to ask. I like the concept. Will you be taking us on other trips to the past?

    Thank you for the great review. They say to write what you know and I know quite a lot about my past so a lot of my writing deals with that.

Enjoyed this trip back to the family home. Interesting read and the reflections of the writer as to the old times. Clever introduction through the "magic pin". All the best in the competition.

Great story. Your descriptive abilities are fantastic and created good imagery. In my mind I could imagine myself there.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your tale. Keep up the good work.

"There grandpa's cane bottom chair over by"
"There Grandma's old singer sewing machine and her"
These lines threw me a bit-should they start with (there's) as if it was something like "there grandpa's cane bottom chair sits..." it would hold the flow, none the less an excellent read, very well done, best wishes for your contest****kahpot
