Reminiscing....come take a stroll down memory lane!

I still remember what a big deal it was in 1964 to stand on the sidewalk and watch the color TVs in the store window!
It was 1966 before we got one at our house. And TVs then were big pieces of furniture with these decorative wood ( or simulated wood) cabinets. Teddy and I would lay on the floor on big pillows and were glued to the TV , especially on Sundays when Disney was on because the opening of the show splashed all that color across the screen and then again on Thursday nights when Star Trek was on.

Do you all remember the cinnamon tooth picks? Maybe this was something we only did in Indiana. They sold little bottles of cinnamon liquid at the drug store and we would soak toothpicks in it. Then we would bring them to school the next day. I remember once I tasted a little bit of that cinnamon liquid and it nearly set my mouth on fire! :laugh: :laugh:
Did you all make friendship bracelets when you were in school? I had a HUGE box of colored beads of all different colors, shapes and sizes. I made friendship bracelets for all my friends at school and around the neighborhood. :D

I made friendship bracelets too! We made ours out of macrame' , my Mom took a class at the ladies club at the church and she taught me. She use to buy all this colored hemp and wood and glass beads, she made hanging plant holders and necklaces and belts and bags. She was really good at it, sold lots things she made at the church bazaar.

Talking about those friendship bracelets reminded me of chewing gum wrapper chains---did ya'll make those? I had a 10-12 foot one draped over the mirror in my bedroom. Whose posters did you have up in your room?
We didn't have cinnamon toothpicks, and we never had a color TV while I was living at home. Or a remote control. The games look fun, but my gran's dad had been a drunken gambler who gambled away all the money they'd saved for the dentist---so---she wouldn't let me play any games that used dice!! That was an odd thought process. I played them when I went to a friend's house. And I could have games with spinners. :P
