Camera

Don't you remember how cool it was to be able to have one of these camera's. Had to wind it after each shot.

Election

Eisenhower becomes our 34th president.

I wonder if people felt differently about the elections back then?

Hair dryer

Don't you remember the days you had to sit under one of these?????

Petal car

Did you have one of these?

When I was little another kid had a car that looked like this but believe it or not...it was motorized. Have a picture of him giving me a ride.

Batman

What a huge hit this way...even created a fan club. Where you part of the club?

Music

Well they were kind of silly but you know we still hear them at Christmas time:)

Were they real people singing and just changing their voices? Anyone know?

American Bandstand

I learned so many dances from watching american bandstand and this one it the stroll....remember?

Connie Francis

Connie Francis Click on her name and hear her sing one of her many popular songs.

S&H green stamps

Does anyone remember these? I spent hours sticking those stamps in books in order to get a gift. One of the things I got was a wall mounted outside hose....still have it:)

Jacks

Loved to play jacks...remember over the rainbow? Seems pretty mild compared to today's activities. Loved to use a golf ball and play on cement:)
How about you?

Biscuit cutters

Biscuit cutters.......did you ever use them?

Think the younger generation would be shocked that biscuits don't always come in a can to pop open and bake.

I have to confess here that I tried to make biscuits a few times and my family was more happy with the can results:)

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!

Curlers

Just the picture of these revives memories of pain.........Did you ever try sleeping on these?

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:)

Poodle skirt

I never wore one did you?

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..............................
