I have to wonder if all the penny candy had something to do with the fact that i ended up with bad teeth...duh ??? most likely but it was so much fun to fill up a bag for a few cents...and some were two for a penny even..

Dear Lisa, As thrilled as I am for the fantastic response to this group,my mailbox is overwhelmed .Can I filter out these memories ,since continuity of thought is not needed here. I leave you with love & skate keys.

1956 Pontiac with an amazing Indian hood ornament :-) Loved those long road trips and being in the "back window" area looking up at the stars! Lisa, I didn't get to roll around because our car was always packed with kids! I remember since I was the smallest/youngest having the honor of sitting on the floor board or being up on the window ledge ... and as mentioned ... seat belts? What seat belts! and (this is horrible) I remember my parents chucking the trash right out the window as we sped down the highways!

speaking of cars and no seat belts, i remember us always having some huge boat of a car, and i would roll around the back seat banging into things on a sharp turn! ;-)

I remember being able to climb up on the little ledge by the back window of the car.  I'd lay there and look out, especially at night, on road trips.  Seat belts weren't even in some cars, and if they were wearing them was optional.

I was so cool, I really was :-) I had a purple stingray bicycle with a leopard print banana seat and I wore cool sunglasses that were bright yellow with a single skinny strip of colored plastic that you looked out at the world through (girl watchers although I was watching those surfer boys) and I wore bubble rings and would  make them fit by wrapping dental floss or string around the inside part and then paint it with nail polish and I was cool because my hair was all parted on the side and part came down in a smooth sweep covering one eye and I strutted around in my cool stripped surfer T. Yep, I was so cool and this was coolness before the expression, "far out" and "bitchen" ... the coolness was expressed by saying, "cool man cool" and I danced to the song Surfing Bird by the Trashmen ... yep ... I remember :-)
