Whippersnapper! LOL I can fondly remember watching old cartoons from circa 1930s on our five-inch screen black and white tv in the huge cabinet because there wasn't enough programming to fill out the day. Long before you were born. Romper Room long before Captain Kangaroo and Pick Temple (who you'll remember if you grew up in the DC area in the 1950s.)
Mom brought each of us a comic book (no superheroes, more like Archie or Little Dottie) when she went to the grocery store each week. Toys at birthdays or Christmas unless you snagged enough pennies to get a Wooly Willy, paper dolls or one of those balls attached to a paddle at the 5 and Dime. What a treasure trove that was, and they had real penny candy for 1 cent each piece. And they had real metal with rubber tips batons.
You had a really sweet daddy, Mary!
Pick Temple had a kids' show on one of the DC tv stations. He was a cowboy. I remember how excited my two older cousins were to meet him at something local in Fairfax Va., where they lived.
One of the hostesses, Maryann King, lived in our jurisdiction. She served on boards of several charitable organizations, always gracious, kind, giving and carried her "Magic Mirror" in her purse. She often led out in the Pledge of Allegiance too. RIP Miss Maryann!!
I'm not catsfive, but the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons were my favorite. :-)
I remember that cartoon with the frog! LOL Good stuff. :-) God bless you as well!
Michigan J. Frog is the official name of the frog.
