Kids played outside all day during the summer and school breaks. Not every toy needed batteries.

Jacquie, that is so weird. Here in Ohio there are no helmet laws and I've seen the results in the trauma unit I worked in :(
Can't figure it out- but there's no law here.

My mom bought a brand new car in 1974..a Datsun (now Nissan). She paid $2495.00 for it, and felt guilty about it for years, feeling that she'd spent a fortune. She was making good wages as a registered nurse at Aspen Valley Hospital...made a whopping $7.00 per hour as a supervisor!

when barbie had a condo made out of boxes and her furniture was too!
when clipping a playing card to bike spokes made the neatest sound ever as you rode that bike all over town!
when being a stay at home MOM was the best job ever!
