does anyone remember cinnimon toothpicks and the Kool Aid in a straw?


Mu uncle owned a store on the hill and we would save our pennies to go buy cinnamon tooth picks and pixi sticks also sunflower seeds for just 5 cents and the best part gas was only 75 cents a gallon and a pack of smokes 75 cents toosmokin
I use to live near this small town we walk 2 miles and go to the soda shop play pin ball and have a rootbeer float. I was so Young wouldn't let my kid do that by herself. Times sure are a changing. The music in the sixty. Just think if gas prices got like it is now. Sit ins ahh the old days

I remember exploring this big empty place with my cousins. Up the road from my granparents place. They lived in a small town, also remember picking crap apples, I use to LOVE those things, and the smell of there wood burning stove, stringing popcorn around the Christmas tree while my grandfather put up the real tree.

I miss my childhood!sad

Awww penny bubblegum

Hulu Hoops

Tag football

Hide n seek

Red Rover Red Rover

Dodge Ball

You could go in to the 5 & 10 (Motts) and come out with a handful of candy for a quarter.

What I miss the most is when my brother and cousins all played baseball in the empty lot next door to where we lived. Granny gave us old pillows to use as bases. We mowed the grass to make the baseball diamond with the old push mower and I mean the one that you literlly pushed it no gas.

:banana: yeah those were the days!!:banana:

You did something wrong at one end of the village and got swatted a million times before you got home, that for me was followed up with " You should know better, your dad's a policeman!" Like that would stop a kid from having fun !!! laugh laugh laugh
