Reading a...hiya, thanks for your comment about Kit.<br />Reading about your childhood, makes me realise even more than ever before the gaping difference between US childhoods, and ours in the UK.<br />Visting friends and family now each year, I feel the gap has narrowed considerably and so much American has been integrated into our lifestyle here, but to visit DISNEYLAND as a child...well we got excited about a treat to the circus, and the fairground was a no-no anytime apart from the very early evening!<br />Have a lovely weekend xxted and bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420272135724099182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-74564299766577989272010-10-21T12:08:52.138-07:002010-10-21T12:08:52.138-07:00Good holy God.

When I look back at our old high school papers I think "what the hell were we thinking?" However, we never described anyone with "dreamy eyes". I'll bet that kid moved to another state after that.<br /><br />Disneyland when it had tickets was the best. Remember the flower shop by Pirates? You could get your silhouette cut freehand? I must have seen Mr. Lincoln 42 times - it was so High Tech!!<br /><br />Thanks for making me laugh today.

About five years ago I threw away all my junior high yearbooks. Thought it was time to get rid of them. I knew my kids wouldn't want them. Good memories though.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211553639708036919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-52146700054669731472010-10-21T09:38:00.558-07:002010-10-21T09:38:00.558-07:00You know Christine, junior high was my absolute fa...You know Christine, junior high was my absolute favourite time in school. I didn't have a clue about too much but was it fun finding out! lol I had the prettiest girlfriend in the school....or at least I thought so.<br />I see it was pretty much the same everywhere. Now to have access to Disneyland? Well, that would have been the clincher!<br />JimJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-29760986138889359602010-10-21T09:32:52.982-07:002010-10-21T09:32:52.982-07:00You are too funny...couldn't see Jesus on the ...You are too funny...couldn't see Jesus on the chip.

Gee I loved going there! That Ride Through Inner Space was just so cool, no matter how silly the props. And the Carousel of Progress. Yeah, I liked the dumb stuff lol...<br /><br />And Knotts Berry Farm! I still have an old menu when my folks visited for the first time in the 50's. I panned for gold and still have the little vile jar with the tiny gold flakes! We never got to eat at the famous restaurant (boo) but I do remember going to some miniatures place in the area of Buena Park. Did I see the Miniatures Museum AT Knotts? I'm SURE I did. I seem to remember things like the smallest bible in the world, a camel passing through the head of a pin and the dollhouses(!!!) Mom got me a dollhouse made around that time. So I'm sure I saw it before it was... Whatever happened to it....<br /><br />Gee what fun to remember these things =)1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.com
