A walk down memory lane.....

The annual watching of Wizard of Oz, with popcorn in the big yellow Pyrex bowl.

Love these memories! Always looked forward to the annual Wizard of Oz.

There is just something about that, isn't there?

How did she know when the color came on? Hate the flying monkeys.

Going for flip a coin rides, heads right, tails left, Mom just steered, and waved.

Mom saw it in the theater, that's how.

My neighbor had a built in pool and we spent our summer at it. We brought a bagged lunch and drank kool aid and played monopoly poolside. To "tan" we lathered on baby oil!!!

abc you must have been rich to have a pool. We ran thru the lawn sprinkler in the front yard when we were not in the back yard playing "kick the can".

Hoot Owl, those "flying monkeys" were scary too, still have nightmares!

LOL We thought we hit the big time when someone in the neighborhood got a slip and slide

Large cardboard washer, dryer or frig boxes. They were to die for. You could make the coolest forts out of them.

I tired walking down memory lane and kept falling down and not be able to get up again....

Do you have to have a memory to walk down the lane?

My brother and I got a tape cassette tape recorder. ( I still have them and my voice as a little girl) but it was so portable compared to those reel tape recorders.

How about getting the family together and putting up the big screen (not TV) and putting in the old black and white reel to reel silent tapes and watching our very old family movies together.
