I can remember leaving my house and playing, really playing, all morning all over the neighborhood with all the kids, then my Mom, with the other Moms, would yell out the back door when it was time for lunch! We did it all again in the afternoon, and then after dinner until the street lights came on!! It was something!! :-)

Nancy...we used to collect cases of coke bottles and get cash and do the same thing. Had we only known that the bottles would be more valuable today!
Do you remember those extra thin licorace strips with candy dots on them...ot the wax lips?

we didn't have to drive to get to the best ice cream in town...and the corner stores had such great penny candy...we knew where all the drinkers lived and would collect the empty beer bottles to cash in for massive amounts of penny candy and comic books...

Lisa....what about driving for miles to nowhere just to drive ( no thoughts of gas prices) and then get an ice cream cone...which cost 10 or 15 cents!
geez... I really am older than dirt ;-)
