Sea Monkeys! I have a friend that can actually get those critters to grow and thrive. I've known her over 30 years, she was in my wedding! She always has sea monkeys swimming around somewhere!
I'd love to find a store that has 'nostalgic candy.' I was craving Pixy Stix BAD last night. I needed a serious sugar fix. A little tip for you, pre-sweetened KoolAid straight from the canister is NOT the same thing. And my tongue is still purple!!!

Anybody remember Kiddles ? Little dolls with HUGE heads that came in Bottles or Jars ect. I had the Clackers too ! One of my friends broke her glass ones; cut her face & she still has a faint scar .... They made in plastic for a while but it just wasn't the same ....

I remember most of these. Did anyone else smash empty oil cans with your feet to get them stuck on your shoes and walk around for hours on them?

Is that what those things I have are? I've got 4 or 5 of them I've had in with my old costume jewelry since I was a kid. Can't even remember where I got them let alone what they are.

I got one of the strawberry shortcake dolls when they first came out and I still have her. You press her belly and a stawberry smell comes out of her. She still smells after all this time. LOL!!!
I also remember wagon rides. I still have my wagon that my Pappa bought for me. I'm in the process of redoing it for my daughter. I remember the mud pies. My cousins and I use to have mud pie fits and Granny never got mad. She just laughed at us. Most parents nowadays would faint if they saw their children throwing mud on each other. Awe the memories they are wonderful. I look back at the things I did and its a wonder somebody didnt get hurt but back then We didnt know the danger. Nowadays it is in your face everywhere You turn. Dont do this Dont do that. Oh the Joy!! Thanks guys for the sweet memories.
