I'm sure you all remember this stuff and more

Holly's post reminded me of Jane Parker's Spanish Bar Cake.

Yes, no seatbelts. I remember. I.remember because on the way back home from the drive in movies my brother fell asleep and fell out of the car leaning on the backdoor. Good thing we were almost stopped when he fell out. He was ok:)
I remember going down.the road in the back of my grandfathers pickup truck as well. Fun memories:rolleyes:

Do you remember those little rounds things you could get at the drug store. You lit them with a match and as they burned a black smoking snake would come out? I cant recall for the life of me what they were called.

That looks good. Kind of strange seeing a new kit kat bar. But no, at least I havent seen one in my area of massachsetts. I always did like kitkat bars. And skybars as well!! Yums!

Only the Italians in our neighborhood had the plastic...too funny!!

We lived in a very nice neighborhood in Pittsburgh and there were a few Italian families. The houses in my neighborhood were just built in the early 60’s and had finished basements.


The Italian families I knew lived in the basements and only went upstairs to sleep....guess they wanted to keep everything nice not just the couches they covered.

Im not making fun of them....we were good friends and they were lovely people. :)
 
Haaahaaaa lol lol lol! Thats really funny! I do recall.when I was young my mother covered the couch with that stuff. It was alright untill you sat on it. Cold in the winter and made you feel slimy.in the summer. That didnt last long:rolleyes:
 
My dear Grandmother worked hard her whole life as a cook in a steel mill. When she saved up and bought a new sofa she wanted to make it last so she had plastic on her new furniture. Bless her she worked long hours for her money. RIP Grandma...
 
When I was young I had an old beat up sofa with a blanket over it and when I got older I had a new sofa with a blanket over it, not much really changed in my life except the condition of the sofa.:):playful::eek:nthego:
 
I know what you mean. When were young you dont really think about things like that. My mother stayed at home while my father went to work and I'll tell you she worked hard and did a great job of it. Sure wish I could relive some of those days. I will always miss my mother, we loved each o5her much.

Same here. My mother stayed home and ran the house and 4 children. We didn’t have any covers on our furniture though and it still stayed nice. We were taught to respect things and take care of them.

I also miss my mom very much...she died 3 years ago. :(

She was my role model and inspiration for how I raised my children and they turned out great!
