I remember Captain Kangaroo, Family Affair...I loved public television and was a faithful watcher of Kukla, Fran and Ollie...
We had S & H green stamps and gas stations had promotional giveaways.
There was layaway in those days, and I bought my first ten speed bicycle at the age of fourteen by depositing five dollars at a time from my babysitting jobs at Haack's Cycle shop near my house. I wonder how many miles I put on that bike! It was a sky blue Schwinn Traveler.
In those days, kids were outside as many hours as possible and we had neighborhood wide games of hide and seek and kick ball. I was sports dyslexic and shy, but was never excluded by the neighbor kids because of this.
When I was ill, I read the Sears catalogue for entertainment, LOL! I was fascinated with the women's lingerie...now I know why. ; )
