That Old Feeling

What happened to these kids?

I've been around for a while now. It makes me tired to think about, but I'm old enough to remember:

• riding bikes without a helmet.
• our first TV
• playing outside all day and not coming home 'til mom hollered
• roller skate keys
• walking to school --alone without adult supervision
• penny candy
• full service gas stations
• going the long way through Wyoming to Bear Lake because Logan Canyon was too hard a climb for the car pulling the boat
• ushers at movies
• recess, jungle bars on asphalt
• The Mouseketeers (original version), Howdy Doody, The Lone Ranger
• our first stereo--first record-Around the World in Eighty Days soundtrack
• hopscotch, jacks, marbles, jump rope-for fun, not exercise
• nylon stockings and garter belts (and not to be sexy-just to hold those suckers up)
• the day Kennedy was shot
• the first man on the moon
• eight track tapes (blushing-I actually had an eight track tape player--I'm so ashamed)
• leisure suits (again-ashamed)
• cars without seat belts
• but--no air conditioning, dishwashers, life saving pharmaceuticals

This photo looks a little off kilter. How appropriate!

Saw a cartoon which said "My body ain't what it used to be. Even when I'm naked, I want to slip into something more comfortable" Laugh now young'uns. It'll be your turn soon enough.

Thanks to Jolene for hanging on to these.
