Remember When!!

Using cardboard appliance boxes as either forts or for camping out in the backyard? Favorites were washer or dryer boxes.

Making tents by suspending a blanket or oilcloth tablecloth over a clothes line? Slept in those as well.

We had to be home when the street lights came on. Riding behind trucks spraying for mosquites?

Dad snoring on the couch, baseball on the transistor radio, golf on tv. Probably Sam Snead. DONT TOUCH THAT IM JUST RESTING MY EYES.

What is scrumping? Yes, I remember picking berries in the wild, and we had a 12 tree apple orchard, lot of pies, applesauce, jam, cobblers and various berry shortcakes with rich whipped cream ,anyone remember the days before milk was pasteurized?

ceanna, DH still does this when we bike.....scares me to death to watch it. If he falls, it’s not going to be pretty.

Anyone clothes pin a playing card on bike frame so it made a “motor” sound as it went through the spokes?

I remember playing 'Going on Vacation'. My dad would pull the car out of the garage (which was in the alley) and we'd pretend we were driving someplace & then we would 'park' and camp out (in a tent made by draping a blanket over the picnic table).

DH bought me a new bike a few years ago, complete with bell, basket and streamers!!

... if you wanted your clothes to dry, you hung them on a clothes line outside... remember clothes pins?

Remember when you had to open windows in two separate rooms, and tie a box fan in one of the windows, so that you would get a cross-breeze while sleeping? On a hot, summer night, that was “central air conditioning.”

Having the dog “help” DD find the eggs in the yard.

I still get candy from the Easter Bunny!

and then here!!! Please!!!!!

Who prefers stale peeps, besides me ?
