11-15,It's already up there for all the world to see. I remember we could entertain ourselves for hours with a "Pensy Pinky"ball and our knowledge of the alphabet.Or what about a chinese jumprope made out of rubber bands.With a bag of Army soldiers & a pile of dirt we could make tunnels & foxholes and bunkers and just about anything in ones backyard could be utilized and incorporated into play.

I remember a lot of 'em, but I have excuses... My dad was pretty careful with money (translated stingy except when he wanted a new tool or t.v.), so we had old---I mean really old stuff. Like a wringer washer that enjoyed catching my long hair in it, and a pick-up with floor boards so rusted through that when it rained, you had to remember to lift your feet when you went over puddles. Good times! I loved those candy cigarettes, too. Yum. Oops, don't tell my preacher I said that...

Mr Clean as a real man and not a cartoon man Roy Rogers and Dale Evans show Shirley Temple movies The Little Rascals The Three Stooges Captain Kangaroo The Mickey Mouse Club American Bandstand I am sure there are more but this is all that comes to my mind right now.
