THE WAY WE WERE......LOOKING BACK IS FUN

Onco, Queen of the Pantry......hahahahahaha - that's funny!!

Alyson,
is that your wedding picture??? "Not sure who those people are" - you
were kidding, right? I can be a bit dense at times.

Ducky, I don't remember those books but I do remember the radio!! I think it was a bit different in the 70's though, but I do remember buttons.

Edited to add: we had a set of those green lawn chairs!! Also had the plastic ones in a lounge chair version. It used to leave funny marks on me when I used it to tan. I was a tanning Goddesses - probably caused my BC....lol

Hawaiian Tropic is probably still the most aphrodisiac scent in the world to me. That and Ban de Soleil gelee...

We spent at least two hours a day at the pool, plus when a little older out on boats on the lake, swilling beer & waterskiing.

Yes that's my wedding photo, very typical early 70s well for here.

We spent our childhoods at the beach and in the sun as a result have had several 'nasty things' removed. Oh well, that's the way it was.

The lawn chairs on the previous page. I actually bought a set new this year for camping. Those canvas sling ones hit my legs in the wrong places and take forever to dry out.

SlowDeepBreaths - that can opener is still the only way to open some imported beers. Just sayin'.

Do they even make sardine cans with a key anymore?

LMG, no wonder I haven't seen those things lately. 

I don't drink beer and I loathe canned sardines!!

We had lights like that Ducky! 

Although the globes were different.

Yes....I remember those.

Not sure if we talked about these yet. I can't keep track. lol

When we were kids we wrote silly stuff. You will marry so and so.... You will have 12 kids....We didn't really ask questions.

We called it a cootie catcher but I'm not sure if that's what it's really called. We put numbers on the tabs to determine how many times you would work it and colors to pick once it stopped. I've made them for the little ones in our family. Sure brings back memories.

Well now I feel left out. I don't remember any of that stuff. Must have been my Catholic school upbringing. We never had cool stuff like that. We just had nuns yelling at us and parents as crossing guards.

Jan, glad to see you sharing some of your own memories. It's so fun to look back.
