Amen. I just told my husband about catsfive and then we thought of that old cartoon of the old man who finds a singing frog. But it will not sing for the old man when he wants to make money with it. The frog sings, "Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal." We always think this is so------funny. I just love it.
YES! I'll take our cartoons and our music any day of the week compared to what there is nowadays. God bless you Snowgirl. I'm 1960 myself. You are my brother Robert's age. Also I have a birthday coming up on St. Patrick's day. Have a great weekend.
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.
Thanks. I'll try and remember that. Sometimes I look it up on the internet just so I can watch that silly cartoon and take myself back to my childhood. God bless.
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.)
I remember Romper Room. In fact, I was telling my grandkids about how we didn't get a lot of toys unless it was Christmas or (once in a blue moon) you'd get something for your birthday. I wanted a baton for my 6th birthday as a girl at school had one and boy could she twirl it. My father; thinking he knew what I wanted, brought me home a plastic Romper Room baton with a clown head on top. It was not what my 6 year old heart had in mind. Being the father he was, he took me to town and made me show him one, where he bought it for me. But yes, I remember Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo; but do not remember Pick Temple.
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.
Oh what wonderful memories you are bringing back to me. The five and dime stores like Ben Franklin's. I always loved to go there because you could buy yourself a cheap birthstone ring which I had one of. I remember the penny candy. The Kits that came in vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and banana flavor. My Mother always wanted the banana ones whenever we went to the little (old fashioned and I mean old fashioned store) around the curve from our house. You could buy the small Tootsie Rolls, some gum balls and suckers. The square Bazooka Joe gum we could get 2 for a penny. So you could go inside with a dime and come out with a small bag full of candy. Old Lady Carter/ who owned the store always kept her candy in large jars on the counter. Kids today wouldn't know what that was like.
I remember going to Woolworths where they had the Brach's chocolates in an open area inside the store and you could get a bag and a scoop and help yourself. My oldest sister would always stop and buy some as she loved the Chocolate Stars and the Peanut Clusters.
Oh my Lord, I am having a great day of remembrance. Sorry this is long; but I'd love to have those "Good Old Days" back again. It was a much simpler time then. Don't get me to talking about Christmas morning; that's a whole other story.
Thank you and God bless.
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!!
Okay. I wish I could remember that, but it simply does not register. I probably don't remember her. Sorry, but thanks for telling me. God bless.
Let's hear it for 1960!
Woo woo woo! Hip hip hurray! Yeah reeeeeeeee, reeeeeee, reeeee! There we are for all those born in 1960.
For we're the jolly good fellows, for we're the jolly good fellows, for we're the jolly good fellows, that nobody can deny.
Hurray!
