More and more I miss a lot of those things

Being able to ride your bike to and from school. Not worrying about being abducted by pedophiles and watching the lone ranger and the Rifleman, 2 of my favorites

OH YEAH! I REMEMBER WHEN... my grandma bought a huge console TV with the Phonograph on one side and a place to put your record albums on the other side! It was a MAGNAVOX, black and white TV, cherry wood (real) and it had the best sound! We lived in a tiny little town in Utah and we didn't get anything but our local TV station! I remember that a man would sit in front of a camera and read the news and try and be funny at times. Then you would see him get up, walk away and hear him turn off the camera. And we even had a lady that would play records, and you could just sit there and watch her! How cool was that?
Before our cool TV we, my Mom and Dad and I would sit around the radio and listen to Red Skelton or The Shadow, and things like that! And those were some of the best times! Of course we would usually have our eyes right on the radio, just in case something would pop out, I guess! Memories are made of this!

I remember when school was out, leaving the house in the morning and not coming home until dinner and no one thought anything about it.

What wonderful times those were.

I can remember growing up just four doors down from where I live now.
Going to Grandma's house on Saturdayand watching Rin Tin Tin, Lone Ranger, Sky King, My Friend Flica and all the other great programs back then....not like the ones today!

Riding my bike to Grandma's house, swimming in the river all day, spending summers in Kansas and riding horses all day. I remember being able to go into our small town on halloween and go from house to house and never having to check the candy. I remember being able to drive on our counrty road and sometimes into town without a driver's license. I remember having only three television channels and a party line telephone. I remember having to wait one hour for a tv dinner. I still like those days the best!

Well..I don't remember the years 1956 to 1960..but I do remember walking to school every day while stopping by friends' houses waiting for them to join me. Eventually we had like 5 or 6 kids walking together. We'd walk home for lunch too. Walking in the door in the winter, my glasses would steam up I couldn't see and my cheeks were bright pink and felt ice cold. Mom would make tomato soup and I'd float some fritos in it along with a bologna sandwich and milk. I'd come home after school and head outside while mom yelled, "Don't play in the snowdrifts!" I never got near them. In the summer, I'd play with my dolls under the big elm tree in the front of the house. Mom would send me to the corner store to pick up bread or milk. I was tempted by the Twinkies on display. Boy! They looked good! I remember someone getting Fizzies. You'd drop two in a glass of water..Wow! Root Beer! My dad and I would take long walks on the weekend. He wore sandals with socks. The sandals would jingle from every step he took because of the the metal rings on them. We'd stop and get a push up..that orange sherbet in a tube of cardboard. You pushed up on the handle to get to more of the sherbet. On a hot day, it was delicious! I remember one of the boys in the neighborhood got something called a Smarty. It looked like a giant pill or something..very hard and very sour! I wasn't sure I liked it or not! The playground we had at school was basically an asphalt square with lines painted on it. I remember playing Statues and Mother May I. I also remember duck and cover..it was scary..I also remember going to the nurse's office to get a sugar cube with liquid stuff in it. The polio vaccine. There's alot more memories from Cicero..I wish we could have stayed but we moved to Baltimore when I was 8..halfway through the 3rd grade. It was terrible..and my childhood was never the same after that.

Playing in the snow with my dad and then coming in and my mom would have hot chocolate and queen ann cherries waiting for us. I can also remember being able to go Trick or Treating until after dark and bringing home pillow cases full of candy. Of course we would go home to empty them out several times before we were done. I can also remember when milk was delivered and on really cold days the paper caps would pop off when the cream would freeze. You never called on the phone you always just knocked on your friends door or just yelled "Yo Whomevers Name" and out they would come. Playing kick ball in the street, spring the leaver and hide and go seek until the street lights came on. Life was so much easier then, I don't know how the children do it today, they have so much to be afraid of. What a shame.
