My favorite memory is the console radio that was taller than me as a child (that was before TV). It had a big dial that I always got in trouble for playing with it moving the needle around the dial screen by turning the knob round and round. Also remember playing outside in the dark..no parents worried about that. Summers were so hot, no air conditioners..just shade of the trees and if you were lucky a breeze. Lots of Kool-aid made with sugar and orange push-ups.
