* Buying white milk at school for 4 cents but chocolate milk was a nickle!
* Hopping on the bus to ride downtown & spend the day riding the "moving stairs" up and down O'Neils....the top floors were pretty narrow & shaky. Having lunch at Woolworths and window shopping...

* Making clothes for my troll dolls & Barbies. Using shoeboxes for houses, popscile sticks for furniture.

* Playing outside until dark, 4 square, freeze tag, TV tag (any kind of tag, lol!!)climbing trees, black topped playgrounds, hot metal slides, leaving the doors unlocked at night...

* Standing on a chair to wash dishes...wonder how clean those were!?!

* Riding my bike alone to the library, even though it was MILES away. Filling the basket with as many books as I could carry. Reading, reading,reading!!!!!

We lived in a house under 900 sq ft, 3 kids~ 1 bathroom. I didn't know we were poor, didn't care about what I didn't have. Luckily the TV (all 3 channels) didn't tell me either.
