What a Difference a Year Makes – (How about 75 years?) | Grandma's Ramblings

As I recently posted, I love to start the New Year by cleaning out closets, drawers, and cabinets. It gives me a feeling of starting the new year fresh and ready for new adventures.

Going through my memory box I found a booklet someone had given me for a birthday that listed news from the year I was born. Very interesting to compare 1948 to the year just passed – 2023.
