    Oh my gosh, you are all taking me back! Donna, we had one of those jack-in-the-box toys. I hated it because it always scared me. Until I was able to figure out the combination of how long before it popped.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I started riding the bus to Birmingham at around 7 or 8 to attend the Mickey Mouse Club at The Alabama Theater. They had kids movies plus a Serial like Flash Gordon and they always played the big Wurlitzer organ. This was long before the Mickey Mouse of TV fame. This MM Club was actually the largest in the world. I would always go by the Krispy Creme Donut place and buy a dozen just for myself. Back then a dozen was around 25 cents and the movie was a Dime. I would eat lunch a Krystal and would pay around a dime each and have a Coke or Pepsi that cost 5 cents. Boy, this brought back some great memories.

    You remember BB bats? I loved those things. Strawberry, Chocolate
    or Vanilla, I liked them all.


    The things that remind me of when I was a kid are mostly the intangibles.
    The first smell of Spring in the air or the train whistle I used to hear as I
    went to sleep at night. Makes me feel sooo safe & happy.

    Did anybody else have a View Master? I had a special box to store the View Master and the photos. It was a shoe box, but my mom let me put stickers on it.
