- Every Christmas, the grownups got silly. See if you think so. Back in the early 50s you couldn't buy hard liquor or wine in our county, so Dad would put the whole family in the car and drive about thirty minutes to a small town in the adjacent...
- To understand this story, you need to know what a teletype machine is. You may have seen one in old movies in a newspaper office,,,a big black box with paper coming out of the top. It's an electric typewriter that is attached to a national news...
- Everybody has heard the jokes about fruitcakes. I guess the oldest is that only one fruitcake was ever made and it's been re-gifted for decades. My mom always made a fruitcake for Christmas and it was the hit of the family gathering in Christmas...
- When I was growing up in the 50s, Sears-Roebuck & Company had the biggest, freestanding store in town and there weren't any other stores around it. It was a great place to go because it had the first escalator in town. We loved going up and down...
- I've been going through a painful infection in my right leg that has caused it to itch like crazy and I've found there are not giant economy size tubes of anti-itch cream. How about pint size? Well, I got to see my late night pharmacist friend...
- The day after Thanksgiving was catalog day. It seemed the big stores had an agreement with the post office to deliver their catalogs on that day. In our house in the late 40s and early 50s, we got catalogs from three major stores, Sears-Roebuck and...

- Tis the Season is asking for your Christmas memories. If you want to contribute, please start a topic so we can know there's something new. We might miss your memory if you put it as a response Tis the Season and we don't want to miss anything.
- The Christmas season is upon us and I'm looking forward to reading your Christmas memories. I'll be telling some of mine and hope you will join in. Those of you who have been with the group since last Christmas, may remember some of my tales. ...
- What was your special meal for Thanksgiving? What foods made it special? Ours was always the same. My mom's two sisters and their families came over and each brought their specialties. Our menu included; turkey, dressing(not stuffing in the...
- Do you remember the Vegamatic? Wish I still had mine.
- To our newer members,I invite you to take a look at the topics that were here before you came. Maybe, they're what made you want to join out group of time travelers. But, if you haven't looked at them(there are 6 pages) do so. They are still open...
- Do you remember the Buster Brown show on the radio? I thought about it this morning because I'm going through an allergy attack and sound like one of the characters,,,Froggy.
