We've come a long way baby

The first microwave was in 1967. Us young ones were all for it but my Grandmother referred to it as the "hot box" and didn't want to mess with it. I swear I feel the same way about i pods!

Bubble lights





Do you remember these? I loved those bubble lights!


You can still get them today but they cost a fortune.

Aluminium Christmas Tree

Aluminium Christmas trees were popular in the late 60's. My husband and I had one the first year of our marriage and the only thing that seems good about it is that is was fire retardant!

Pencil Sharpener

These use to sit on the teacher's desk and of course when you sharpened your pencil your butt would wiggle for all to see!

Barber shop


Use to walk right by one of these on my way to the store. It was a small two chair barber shop and often the door was open with the radio on:)

45 Record Player

I indeed had one of these! In order to play the 45's there was a cylinder that would go on the spindle and allow you to stack the 45's up. I still have a whole box of them and no way to play them! Now that is a true lover of nostalgia:)

Bob's Big Boy

My first time to go to Bob's Big Boy was when my parents and I went to Phoenix Arizona to see the car races. As it turned out, they didn't have tickets and it was sold out so we went to Bob's Big Boy and had hamburgers and drove all the way back home.
Actually I liked their ham and cheese sandwich better than the hamburgers:)
Those were the days..............................

Jute Box


These little jute boxes sat on each table and didn't I think I was big stuff sitting in Becky's Chili Bowl and playing the most popular song; "Tequila".
