I did when the boys were little (cloth diapers) and still do as much as I can.<br />We spent Sunday mornings after church with aunts, uncles, cousins at Grandma's house and had brunch together.<br />Great memories.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-24771076318784252582022-01-29T08:54:14.544-05:002022-01-29T08:54:14.544-05:00Thank you.

Yours were fun to read. School/pants was just the opposite. In grade school we could wear anything except mom made me wear dresses. But pants were allowed. Then in highschool, had to wear dresses till junior or senior year. I was allowed to wear pant suits. <br /><br />When we washed with the wringer, we set the washed clothes in big pans around. Washed them, drained the water, and refilled with rinse water and then put the loads back in a load at a time and rinsed, run through the wringers, and hung them out.

Lazy, sweet days and times in the life of a child of the 50s and 60s. I would not trade them for anything.

I didn't really fit in with the cliques or popular people in high school. Just kind of did my own thing.<br />I remember Herb Alpert - what a flash back. Now I can hear that music in my head!<br />No things have not changed for the better. It seems kids go to school about half naked now. Torn jeans! Oh they drive me crazy!!!!<br />Thanks!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-43276230040279235292022-01-22T06:47:44.424-05:002022-01-22T06:47:44.424-05:00Thanks.

I love where people have commented they had a certain meal each week on Fridays or Sundays...and that family was always around. So much security for a child growing up.<br />I’m gonna definitely be trying the hamburger patties in flour and butter! <br />Nearly 60 years ago, we walked to school in Sacramento, CA. But, we moved to Oklahoma when I was 9 and we started having to ride a school bus. What a wonderful school we went to, though...til high school. <br />I do remember our dad cooking pancakes for us on Saturday mornings with Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass blasting on the stereo ;). My dad loved Mexico.<br />My mom’s hometown in Kansas sounds like your neighborhood...grandma and grandpa in the big house on the end, Aunt Aileen next door and uncles nearby.<br />We could only wear pants under a dress, too, in grade school. My how things have changed....not for the better🙄<br />Anyhoo, thx for the wonderful walk down memory lane.<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895877653972323599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-85720556059406359812022-01-21T20:23:26.389-05:002022-01-21T20:23:26.389-05:00I was born in Scotland. :-)I was born in Scotland. :-)Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-82373820162891779402022-01-21T19:02:16.157-05:002022-01-21T19:02:16.157-05:00What a cute picture of you, Cheryl!
