| We had to beg for this to be used |
peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich sack lunches everyday in the 4th and 5th grade
fondue night sitting in front of the T.V. on the new carpet
any appliance in avocado green
red/autumn orange/and harvest yellow shag carpet
Creeping down the hallway with my sister's long after we were supposed to be in bed so we could watch t.v. from the side of the couch where my parents couldn't see us
my father's guitar and singing "There once was a man named Michael Finnigan" until our tongues felt heavy from twisting
A cold pillow on a hot summer night and my dad's hand rubbing my back
Unripened apricots you eat anyways
Playing in the cul-de-sac in the seemingly unending twilight

| Scooby Doo everyday after school before homework |
School swings and cherry drops off the monkey bars
Charm bracelets and rad neon sunglasses
My mother's dancing in the midst of chores
Jelly shoes and mood shirts
L.A. Gear high tops and Guess jeans with zippers up the ankle
crocheted ponchos with pom pom balls for trim

I love this!! Looks like you are about my age...judging from the jelly shoes (geesh those hurt), fruit roll-ups, L.A. Gears, and Guess jeans! I had red Guess jeans that were tapered at the ankle!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have a Pound Puppy?
Thanks for taking me back to simpler times.
...I kid you not, my word verification was "pople" Do you remember popples?
Hey there S.E.-I totally had pound puppies!! I've got more pictures to add and I think I'll have to do that, including the pound pups. I did not have poples, but I really want add the Monchichi's! Thanks for the comment love :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! Reminded me of all the toys and shows I used to love. My cousin had that snoopy thing while I had the easy bake oven. We could make full meals. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
ReplyDeletefun! and i had that very same snoopy snowcone maker!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh... my daughters had pound puppies & the charm necklaces!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved your "secret sneak" to watch TV... I remember avoiding certain sections of the hardwood floor (they squeaked) so I could sneak into the den & peek into my Christmas stocking in the middle of the night (after Santa left)....
Thanks for participating this week!!!
that brought me back :) thanks for the trip down memory lane...
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to my Monchichi, but I love your memory of your grandfather's peppermints, your father's guitar sing-alongs and your mom dancing during chores.
ReplyDeleteit´s interesting to see how different our cultures are, i know some of the things you mention and some of them are totally strange for me. wish i could experience all of this you are talking about!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about half of these things... thanks for taking me back! lol ♥Tee
