Some of the things that are so retro now was just normal for me but that is part of being old and refined I suppose! Events that I remember are still so vivid.
It gives me the awww feeling to see interests in the good ol' days.
- listening to and AM transitor radio
- wearing all the paisley tent dresses
- mini skirts
- pop in a bottle
- gas at 38 cents a gallon
- swimming in a creek
- protesting to wear pants to school
- protesting to wear jeans to school
- getting permission to use the phone
- everyone rode the bus to school
- listening to 45's and 33's
- getting my first 8 track
- rotary dial
- bell bottom pants
- flower power
I remember all of these! In our little town all you had to do to call someone else in town was dial the last 4 digits of their number because everyone had the same first 3 numbers. And this was in the 80's! My kids think I make this stuff up!

Crikies! We didn't have a phone until I left home. We had a Red Phone Box down the corner where you had to speak to an operater first! I remember having my first pair of white Levi's at 13 and mum buying them a size too big so I could grow into them. Sooo embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Nancy! Hey hey we're the Monkeys. I used to dance around singing that theme song when I was a little girl. I was born 1960. I always thought Sonny was too short for Cher. LOL Groovy!

I love this idea. It is scary that I fall right in to all the ones you mentioned.
