Our life in old pictures.....
#31
I am 62, and I remember all of them. Mom hung the strands of icicles one at a time, and they were beautiful. She had the ringer machine at one time, and my brother got his whole arm in it. I had the saddle shoes. Mom bought lots of those Tony Permanent kits. Had a real collection of those records. I had the makeup, and the cologne. Between me and mom I have seen them all, and used most of them. It was a simpler time, and a good time.

At 77 I remember all of them and this is the truth. I am sitting at my computer desk and there is a wall outlet with a brass cover and four black buttons next to my desk. I use it. It is for the front door light and the porch light. What is good lasts! Forever! Edie

Yep, I remember & used each & every one of them. I still have my 45's with the adapters & a record player that still works. When one of my Grandson's was about 8 (now 27) & we were sewing together, I ask him if he wanted to listen to some of my old songs. He was excite & when I pulled out my 45"s, he said "Gee grandma, I've never seen CD's that big before". Boy did I laugh. He was impressed not only with the songs on the 45's, but also the 78's I still have. He loved watching the arm go up to let another record play & the are return to play another song. I still have the 8track tapes & a player for them too. Don't figure I have to mention my age & some things I hoard. LOL

annette1952, I think you are talking about the roll of caps that fit in a child's cap gun that made a bang when the trigger was pulled. Those were fun to play with even if I am a girl. Well, maybe a tomboy. LOL

Wow, that brought back memories, I remember each and every item in those pictures! Yesterday while shopping for fabric I had a flashback of those machines that measured fabric as it was pulled through the device.
