Great to hear all of that! I grew up learning how to drive on a "Standard" but we called it 3 on the tree! Also, I miss the dimmer light thingy on the floor! When my 15 yr old was little he went into my parents attic and saw a typewriter and couldn't believe what it did! He had no idea what it was, lol. We had a really nosy old lady on our party line and she listened in all the time and then went back and told our parents what she had heard. Thank goodness we don't have that anymore...
Thanks for the memories!
