[BO DUTCH]

PLOP PLOP FIZZ FIZZ......

I used to play Canasta with my Mom on rainy days, and my Grandma any time !! Now.... only on the computer !!

My Dad and Grand dads would play Cribbage, 15 - 2, 15 - 4 etc.
Watching them hour after hour is how I got to be the worlds best Crib player !!

I learned to drive with a "new" 1958 willys jeep in the Nevada desert. 4 banger, top end, wide open.... 45 mph !! Dusty, washboard dirt roads. I did so well that my Dad let me use his pride and joy 2 years later, 1960 Buick Invicta convertable, Big a$$ Wildcat engine, all leather bucket seats.... Oh, I wish I had that car now. I still can see it, Pearl Fawn and trimmed in white....


Phone numbers had letters for prefix, Party lines, telephone ediquite... limit your calls to 3 minutes !! Long distance calls were expensive and were reserved for emergencies or family business, never lasted more than 3 minutes.

Comunications with out of town friends and relitaves was done by postal letter or post cards. Post Card stamps were 3 cents, letter stamps were 5 cents.

Pogo sticks, stilts, rope swing over the swimming hole, Jerry Mahoney talking doll, Silvertone radio. Boys Life magizine, Buddy Burner stoves, camping out in the backyard during the summer, Stink Bombs, Mumblepeg, enough for now !!!!!

Oh....... my brain hurts so good !!!
