Answer 1

I had an easy bake oven and I cried when my mom tried to make me use it. I loved my Cher doll and all her cool clothes and my Star Wars figures. And the be all end all was my red satin jacket that I wore with my red satin shorts.

I remember the bell bottom pants that my mother thought was so "stylin"! I hated them!
I remember Halloween being safe and being able to ride our bikes across town to go to the park.
I remember riding our bikes without any helmets and doing a flip over the handlebars when I hit a really bad bump! Nothing was ever thought about it.
I remember the snow being up to 8 feet high on more than one occaison. (south central Wisconsin)
I remember exactly where I was standing when the special news bulletin broke that Elvis had died.
