I am older than rocks (70) and remember
Burma shave road signs,
pushbutton light switches,
getting a block of ice to go in the "ice box"!!
black and white saddle shoes,
steering wheel knobs,
indian trading posts along Route 66,
going to the lady down the street to have the run in my nylons repaired,
nylons with a dark heel and a seam up the back,
picking cotton with my mother in the field,
using small frozen juice cans and gel set to make my hair curly,
Blackjack and Beemans gum,
blue chip stamps,
25 cent movies,
learning to sew in a treadle machine,
making soap in the back yard in the huge pot with my grandmother and using the lard from the pigs and ashes to do so.
