Middle Aged Memories

oh yeah francy!!  my sister dinkewd her hair in white shoeploish!  (from the saddle shoes we had to war to school----we went to public school but my dad said these were practical       we always wore hats for any holiday......and my mom made me wear gloves to a sweet 16 party  I AM NOT THAT OLD!!         sp beside mouse and squirrel,  mr peabody's way back machind and his assistant sherman mighty mouse that saved the day,  and woops jut forgot felix's parnte   i cn picture them ............r.       what about BRILCREME? a little dab'l do you?

brady bucnh!!!  i tried so hard to  make my blck hair look like marcias!   oy!  mine even loner that ners, but didnt have that ''swing   you know like walking side to side!  i was a hippie!  cheerleaders were ferboyen!  our hair was long,  we wore peasant tops from mexico (i lived in l.a.ca)  ;payed the f;ute and read poetry....in otherwords, our olders brother and sisters were beatniks

creatue geatures   and passwrd   truth consequences (not the one today)

,  the newywed game,  the dating game    to tell the truth, i've got a secret    (didn't i ever have homeork?)

karen many years ago!  how wierd is that?  yes, the bonnet on my hair dryer was pink.   now we might have considered ouurselves hippies:  stopped shaving our legs and pits, but hey!!!  a girls hair is off limits!   into the bonnet i dryed my hair that was wrapped around emptied food cans---MY HAIR WAS ALREADY STRAIGHT!  not that i was vein   haha     did y'all wear stockings under your kneew sox?  that we were technically not "wearing" nylons  but gossh heaven forfend we didn't seem cool

we always had a frdge that had one door only   it held the the fridge part and the freezer    doy!  not goona do much!   so then every few weeks my father had to douse the "ice box"  with pots and pots of hot water to defrost it.   by the time he was done.....   

(Back to those garter belts that were mentioned for stockings...)  Did anyone attach those to fishnets?  Usually put a hole in the fishnets fairly quickly too.  The coolest "look" was to wear one pair of fishnets on top of another for a shimmery look.  Thank goodness pantyhose came out very soon after I got to wear nylons.  And yes, when we still could not wear pants to school, it was an extra layer of warmth to wear both stockings and knee socks.

oh fishnets!  show how fashioanioble one is    how bout maverick  marcus wellby  and roford fules?     father daoughter boding for me

DH and I were just quoting Emergency a couple of days ago.  "Station 51"

PS, My dad has an old Servel gas refrigerator in the basement and it still works....the freezer is in the top part of the fridge and you open the one big door for access. We just use it for beer and overflow stuff when the upstairs fridge is too full.   

I agree, Sally Field looks very natural. 

Oh N. M - of course you would find the perfect pictures!!!! I just love that!

I loved the Flying Nun and Hazel, also Mr. Ed, and it may have been a local thing but when I was little there was the Popye Club and I got to be on it with my brownie troupe. Oh, also makes me think of Captin Kangaroo, and Mr. Magoo. 

 Also my Mom used to wear hats to church but not big hats just small things like an oval of black velvet with a ribbon and black netting or a bow with netting and she always wore gloves. Things like that. I remember how beautiful I remember her being and my Dad with his hat and coat. Things were a lot more elegant back then.

 I also remember a cheese souffle that Stoffers used to make that was amazing, and there were also frozen cupcakes that came in a package that I remember being wonderful. 

Oh my I also remember a beautiful evening gown that my Mom used to let us play dress up in - Boy I so wish I had it now.... it was lovely green chiffon long skirt and the top was all rinestones! It was georgous! Why on earth she let us play in it I'll never know! 

Remember getting a pack of chalk was such a treat so you could go out to the sidewalk and draw a hopscotch?  And you kept a special "chain" or marker that you were skilled at throwing into the grid?

I don't rememebr the Clicker and failed at Googling it.

I remember the Instamatic camera and the "Magic Cube" flash cube. It didn't take batteries, but you could also make one flash by sticking a paperclip in a hole in the bottom.  I doubt my mother would appreciate that little bit of info, flash cubes weren't cheap.

Running home from school to watch Dark Shadows, then home work, then outside until dinner...wait until your father gets home (the scariest statement in the world)...
