Not much store bought. My sister and I would ride our bikes for hours and play double dutch. <br />A great post I enjoyed it very much. <br />ElizabethElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-5921700766473144492009-09-14T08:00:46.631-07:002009-09-14T08:00:46.631-07:00I love this - kids today just don't know what ...I love this - kids today just don't know what they're missing.

So much of what you wrote about was true for me. There were 5 of us sharing 1 bathroom. A treat for us was going to Dairy Queen or A&W for a root beer float in the summer, or drive in movies where I put on my pajamas and my dad would carry us kids in to bed after we got home. Great memories, Thanks for taking me back.<br />DebraDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-87307558519503641012009-09-13T21:41:44.428-07:002009-09-13T21:41:44.428-07:00OH how fun to remember these memories.

When I grew up yes there was some video games being made like Sega :0) but our family couldn't afford all the best things out of life, we had each other and we had the Lord to get us threw life. I am sure we had more than some but there are some things, my mom and dad wouldn't let us have, and know as a parent I see why. You have to really provide things that children need not things they want in life. Things people want are in the end just possesions, and we can not take them with us to Heaven. Take care sweety. I love you post.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />HeidiAbatevintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292748128225428200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-67608611082616023722009-09-13T21:03:56.222-07:002009-09-13T21:03:56.222-07:00I relate to all of that, Marydon.

My family never even locked their doors/windows. Times have changed, haven't they????<br /><br />We didn't have a TV until I was about 16 or so. AND---it was alot of 'snow' then!!!<br /><br />We had our milk delivered also.

I could amuse myself with paper dolls for hours and I sewed lots of my doll's clothes. I'd go to one of the five and dimes -- that's an antiquated idea! -- like Newberry's and buy a yard of cloth and a pattern for fifty cents and have weeks of fun. My dream in life was to get to Disneyland.

I remember the sprinkle topper and remember when we got our first iron with the sprayer! Then we got permamentpress sheets, WooHoo more time for Playing outdoors! I was never home in the summer. Played in the creeks, riding my bike all over the neighborhood and playing cards, jacks and hopscotch! My favorite thing to do was dress up in old prom dresses my neighber gave me! She worked in an orphanage I lived beside and what ever dresses that were donated to the girls that they didn't want she would let me pick a couple each year so my friends and I could play in them. We played outside in these. What my neighbers watched makes me laugh now. I wish they were still around to ask what they were thinking! Wow, thanks for giving me the chance to relive some wonderful times I had! I may have to write a post on my blog about some if this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266629806348149516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-15334788423888322712009-09-13T18:48:36.466-07:002009-09-13T18:48:36.466-07:00Hi Marydon,

You know my grandkids are still in awe that we only had cartoons on Saturday and that was only until 11am and then they were gone for another week. There was no Nicolodeon, or Disney channel. We didn't get to watch cartoons until our Saturday chores were done. We got 50 cents a week allowance and 25 cents of that we gave to the church. I too ironed with one of those large pop bottles with a sprinkler on the top. I remember standing on a chair to iron to reach the ironing board, and we wouldn't dream of allowing our children to start that early today. So many changes. We walked or road our bikes too. We lived in a small town and there were no buses or even taxis. You walked everywhere. There were no cafeterias in school either everyone took a lunch in a lunchbox or paper sack with your name wrote on it. That is just how it was. Those were the good old days. Thanks for the memories sweetie. I just love it.

A one room school, gravel roads, no bike until I was 10 years old, no television at all until after I had my first baby. Sounds primitive - but I was a happy kid and turned out okay and think that the kiddies today have way too much stuff. Of course, part of it is due to grandparents like me!! I suppose in another 50 years, these days will seem primitive - but I certainly can't imagine how they could!!!! Everything changes, doesn't it? (I just now spotted on the post above someone writing about the leftover piecrust cut in strips and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar! My mom did that - and I did that for my kids. Wonder how many make homemade pie crust anymore. Do you know what, I don"t! LOL!! I am resting on my laurels. CarolFunoldhaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484311080018327229noreply@blogger.com
