Do you 'member how things were ....before?

By-Gone Era The art of conversation Reader’s Digest on the coffee table Straining to see the first snowflake Whittling Playing the harmonica Hambone, hambone...have you heard? Not being in a rush Using a pencil down to the nub Tiddlywinks, Woody woodpecker, Winnie Winkle Being afraid of the ferris wheel In a hurry to grow up Wondering how much money the tooth fairy was going to leave Making helicopters with maple tree seeds Slowly chewing grass stems of cat tails Tripe slowly simmering in a pan Being embarrassed over small matters A fruit cake that actually tasted good When knowing 16 colors covered everything Delicious cold water from the fire hydrant More delicious-er cold water from the water pump Packing in the car to go to the drive-in movie Commonplace Cardinals, Blue Jays, humming birds and Butterflies flitting about in your backyard The smell of the warm damp earth Fresh milk on your doorstep Buying milk from a vending machine Argo Clothes Starch Washboards Wet laundry frozen solid on the line Glorious sun dried sheets Absolute stillness after a snowstorm Thinking that there was plenty of time Wishing you said I love you just one time

  7. Yes, I remember most of what you've said- and the hardest to let go of is thinking that there is plenty of time.
  8. I do. Thanks for making me smile and say mmmmm (sun dried sheets). Last one made me tear up a bit.
  9. Grasshoppers! seeing/catching grasshoppers, depending on your age. Before to many chemicals killed them off.
  10. Yes, all of that! Thank you for that wonderful trip down Memory Lane. Milk bottles broken in the milk box because it froze and we forgot to bring it in. The bread man. The Jewel Tea man. Winky Dink and You on TV Saturday night baths Just some other thoughts of things that have gone by the bye!
  11. Yes I do, and I wonder just how did we get along?
  12. I love this! You are the man!
  13. "What time is it kids?" "Its Howdy Doody time!!!" The Pinky Lee Show. My dad putting an "I Like Ike" sign in the yard. Out early on a summer morning with a buddy, towing wagons behind our bikes, picking up pop bottles and beer bottles for the deposit. No air conditioning. You went inside, it was hot. You went outside, it was hot. Playing in the woods, building forts, playing Army. Trips to my grandparents in Kentucky so far back in the hills that they didn't have electricity - at least not until 1958. Coca-Cola in a bottle for a nickle. Sneaking a transistor radio into school to listen to the World Series. Cowering when a jet went over during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Numbness when President Kennedy was assassinated. Watching TV when Jack Ruby killed Oswald. Filling your gas tank for $5.00. The Beatles. Chubby Checker. Jerry Lee Lewis. The Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan. Patsy Cline. The Animals. Hank Williams, Sr. Ernest Tubb. Bill Monroe. The Doors. The Dave Clark Five. Donovan. Johnny Cash. Country Joe & The Fish. Taking my first drive across the newly completed I-65 bridge (later named for JFK) from Indiana to Kentucky. Shock when Martin Luther King was gunned down. Disbelief when another Kennedy was murdered. Vietnam. Watching the first moon landing. Profound relief when Reagan won in 1980. Wishing every day I could have another day with dad and mom.
  14. How beautiful! I'm impressed. (That lobotomy is really paying off. Ain't it?) And yes, I remember. (Didn't think you'd be old enough to, however.)
  15. let's not forget the girls in poodleskirts rollerskating out to your car with a wonderful rootbeer float, and i remember it all
  16. Absolutely beautiful! *applauds* More! More!
  17. "In my solitude you haunt me, With reveries of days gone by. In my solitude you taunt me, With memories that never die." (((Hugs)))
