Remember When

I remember my Mom listening to the soap operas on the radio, I think one of them was Helen Trent.

I remember when I went to dinner/dances and danced every dance...the faster the more fun.
Now when they play that "Jump, Shout song" , we sit down.

I remember when my grandmother would come and stay with us for a few weeks.  I loved coming home from school when she was there and her having her apple turnovers or potato pies warm from the oven for me to eat.  She always listened to her soaps on the radio too.  I had to be quiet then.

Playing jacks, hopscotch, and jumproping double-dutch..

Remember rip cords on the backs of dress shirts?  In middle school no boy (or girl) had one survive the day.

When I was in seventh grade we staged a sit-in the school cafeteria.  The burning issue---allowing girls to wear pants to school.  We won!

Remember when they would start the late news with "it's eleven o'clock, do you know where your children are?"

Remember when you could find a payphone when you needed one? Now, if your cell phone battery dies and you need one- you are out of luck!!!

Remember having the milkman deliver milk to your home?

Yes! Metal box, glass bottles.  My Aunt and Uncle also received home delivery of beer and potato chips.  Pre-conehead coneheads?

Remember Bazooka bubblegum for a penny per piece?

[Prairie Dawn]

I still love bazooka gum!


Remember the smell of grandma's house on Thanksgiving?  Yummmmmmm!

Give it another twenty years and the kids will be the electronic thingy.

Does anyone remember the TV show "Queen for a Day?"  What a funky show!!

Remember when children were seen....but not heard? What the heck happened to that?

[Snowbird]

Remember when the adults were fed first at family gatherings.  Now the children are always the first in line.

Remember when it was safe to go to bed at night with your windows wide open and you could feel the night air.
