i remember when......Sunday dinner took up the whole day...... i can still smell those smells comin' from the kitchen, pies baking ....and a trip to grandmas was fun...when a soda fountain was a PLACE. Where it was safe to walk to school and walk home all in the same day! and a time when ladies wouldn't dare enter church without hats AND gloves....let alone where pants!

Yes, I do remember but it doesn't seem like it was yesterday. It seems like it was a long, long time ago.

I remember dressing up to go downtown shopping, or on an airplane.

I remember when girls had to wear dresses to school - and they had to cover the knees! And on gym day, we had to wear shorts under the dresses!

WE had to always wear dresses too. ( This was the late 60's early 70's and they and to touch the floor when you got on your knees) but we had ugly blue gym uniforms we had to wear!
