Remember When? Part III

Tami suggested I add a third post of "Remember When?" because she wanted to add some. Some of the items in this list are hers. This will probably be the last one. Tomorrow I will find something a little different to post.

Remember when the milk man would leave glass bottles of milk on your doorstep?

Remember when you had to take your milk money to school? It's hard to believe milk once cost a nickel.

Remember when your dad reaching for his belt buckle struck terror into your heart?

Remember when you would get green stamps at the grocery store? If you filled up enough books with stamps you could redeem them for prizes.

Remember when the family went to the drive-in movie? Dad would back the station wagon into the spot and mom would put pillows and blankets in the back. Don't forget the clunky speaker hanging on the window.

Remember when the sounds of crickets on summer nights would sing you to sleep?

Remember when your mom made Jiffy-Pop popcorn on the stove? Remember when a hot air popcorn popper was revolutionary? Having popcorn for a snack indicated a special occasion.

Remember when you'd bang pots and pans at midnight on New Year's Eve? My family used to go bowling and out to eat that evening. I'll never forget the time my dad blew a gasket because we went to Arby's and they were out of roast beef.

Remember when you could race boats in the gutter after a rain storm?

Remember when the news was only on at 6:00? Now it starts at 4:00 and runs until 7:00. More isn't always better.

Remember when going to the Reds game was like taking a trip to paradise? The grass was SO green! (actually it was Astroturf, but hey, it didn't matter to me).

Remember when nothing smelled better than a hot dog at the ballpark?

Remember when you took a bath about every 3 or 4 days? (And you usually had a sibling in the tub with you?)

Remember when getting up at 6:00 A.M. felt like getting up in the middle of the night?

Remember when your mom had a Tupperware party? Moms LOVED Tupperware!

Remember when your biggest annoyance in life was having your mom make you go to bed?
