A weekly-ish blog sharing my series of collages about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

TRAVELING MAN
When people were sick, the family doctor would drop by the house instead of the patient going to his office. Office visits were mostly scheduled for the dreaded complete physicals.
OMGosh, I remember doctor visits, and lollipops for being a good girl. Nowadays I go to the doctor, tell him/her my symptoms and what usually heals them, collect my meds and go home, hoping against hope that the people I sat near in the waiting room hadn't passed on their germs to me.
I once took a sick daughter to the doctor's office, as well as two of her siblings who were not sick, plus awakening a sleeping baby to join us. It was quite an orchestration, and of course, we were all sick soon. PS My hair was up in rollers.
