Another ride back in time......The 70's..........

I remember mom pulling into a gas station and her telling the guy to fill er up. She would give him a 5 dollar bill and he would give her change back after he washed the windshield checked the oil, and the air pressure in the tires!

77 I graduated high school
that basement seen in the 70's show was stolen from my basement "I swear".
I hated charlies angels ,I loved country rock,k Lynyrd , the outlaws , Harry chapin, eagles ,and a myriad of bands that shaped the music of the day.
Jimmy carter was pres. I watched Nixon resign,"After he came to my hoome town to dedicate the library ".Abby hoffman said Ford was a f---ing bimbo in his playboy interview which I did a current events report on. I chose a profession in 75 and have been with it ever since.I watched 1980 roll in and the world has sprinted down hill at "16 t squared " on a continuous pace.

Driving the car that's in my avatar. 36" bell bottoms. Two not so nice events that stand out in my mind cuz I moved to LA in 1979 were 1. the Hillside Strangler and 2. the Iranian hostage crisis. One great feeling that I will never forget was driving home from work thru Hollywood with Michael Jackson singing "Don't stop till you get enough". That song always takes me back.

I remember girls body suits and halter tops were all the rage in 72 along with leather fringe jackets and moccasin boots. Paul revere and the raiders cherokee nation!

I had a white Schwinn bicycle that had a sneaker design on the seat, and the word 'sneaker' along the frame bar. I ♥'ed that bike so much.

Skates that were actually tennis shoes on wheels, but since they had no heel, you fell backwards easily. My sister and I would skate all over in those, wearing our little shorts that were blue with the white edging, similar to these http://vintagesurfandskateemporium.com/shop/images/website 008.JPG and shirts that looked like they were made out of 3 handkerchiefs.

Remember gauchos (bad), and jeans that tied on, and Buster Brown shoes http://cougartown.com/graphics/buster-brown.gif

The Sonny and Cher show, the Smothers Brothers, the Barbara Mandrell Show, Cindy Brady...
The Rockford Files

and Nikes, Nikes, Nikes

Record players, even if it was a Winnie the Pooh one. Knock On Wood http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0iyhtCL4Eyg/StUzBi0NmBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/oJSvuVZuR1s/s400/Amii-Stewart.jpg

Anyone remember these dolls? http://www.dollkind.com/images/bradleydolls4.gif I have my purple one still, and I had a pink one that was a lamp. I smooshed all of their ankles playing with them so much.

Holly Hobbie dolls: http://www.dollkind.com/images/hobbie5 They went camping with us. Good sports, they were.

Anyone have one of these? My favorite toy ever: http://www.fpclub.org/images/treetots.jpg

I had a similar yet better version of this, with a cardboard swimming pool http://tinycatpants.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/toys2.jpg

Who didn't have some version of this? http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/droolicious/2007/12/01-07/fp-school.jpg

This too, with the dinging cash register : http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/naturehouse/Toys2Remember/McDs1.jpg

Now that I see these photos, I see we didn't have a lot of the accompanying pieces. My mom must have either found them at a yard sale or raised two older and more worthless sisters who were careless.
