I honestly feel sorry for the youth of today...and I worry that they're going to have "carpal neck" from always looking down! :) I absolutely loved having new crayons and a new coloring book! I loved paper dolls, playing jacks and being outside until dark.<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212447439580468374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637229652986825254.post-87778483766039984272016-09-20T10:26:19.263-05:002016-09-20T10:26:19.263-05:00Ah ha- how true!

My favorite was when Dad went to get gas, he would take me and we would get a glass bottled coke, peanuts and sit on our porch and have a snack. I didn't get to have soft drinks much and if we did we had the cans (remember new coke???? yuck).The Southern Sideboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488864892313183275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637229652986825254.post-13706214609350847262016-09-20T09:25:23.768-05:002016-09-20T09:25:23.768-05:00Yes!
