I Remember When....

I remember when:

• The streetlights coming on meant it was time to go home.
• Gas was under $1 per Gal.
• Sundays were Grandma days, visiting her, and seeing what she was baking that time.
• It was safe as a 10 year old to walk several blocks by myself to 7-11.
• Telling stories at the bus stop with the other kids heading to school.
• Looking forward to September. Not for school to start but to get the new clothes.
• I had to have PeeChee folders.
• Swatches were cool.
• Thinking 30 was "old".
• Playing baseball in the street.
• Riding bikes without helmets.
• Fighting over "the hump" in the back seat.
• Gumballs were a penny.
• Payphones were a dime.
• Looking something up involved getting a book.
• Black and white TVs and Rabbit Ears were options.
• I had to be in bed by 8.
• You could record a song from the radio onto a cassette, and no one cared.
• I had my first crush.
• I had my first heartbreak.
• I had my first kiss.
• I thought 80's fashion was so hot.
• I had to memorize the "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow" speech from Macbeth.(and can still recite it)
• Leaded gas.

These are just a few of many many things I remember. This is an open ended blog so please, feel free to add to the list. Love to all
