I remember all of them and I thank you for those memories. It was such a great time to be growing up!

Oh geez, I am older than dirt. There goes my day. The only thing I can say is it makes retirement easier because I know how to cope with no money.

Well, I figured it was so, but now it's official - I'm older than dirt! We also used to get milk in the cafeteria at school in miniature glass milk bottles with a flat, cardboard "stopper" that we saved by the hundreds in order to get a chance on a bicycle at the annual Dairy Festival Parade!

Well I'm also older than dirt. I remember my uncle pasturizing the milk. My kids (29 and 27) didn't know what that was. How about the garters we wore to hold up our nylons. We had to work out in the fields during the summer to make money for school clothes.

Not only did we have to ask permission to leave the table, we had to thank our Mother for the good meal.

Gees, am I that old? I knew all 15!
Now I didn't get the RC bottle with holes in it. That one went right by me. My Mom and Grandma's used a bowl of water and stuck their hand in it and sprinkled the clothes.
Thank for the memories.:)
