Putting a pie in the kitchen window to cool down.

Buying your mailman a Christmas present as you had the same mailman for years. He actually had time to sit in our yard and drink coffee with my parents. His bag had more gifts in it on Christmas than it did letters.

Next.

Riding on the back window deck of the old 55-57 chevy, I can remember taking road trips and watching the stars thru the back window.

Wild dew berry and wild plum tarts, I haven't seen or had one in 30+ years! YUMMY!

Bell bottom jeans and blue jean jackets with the sleeves ripped off, that's when cool was cool! LOL

Rubberband guns, I think I held up everybody in the family at gunpoint at one time or another and the only time I would get my butt spanked was if I actually opened the close pin!

Using cap guns w/ the paper rolls that popped when you pulled the trigger and being able to take them to school for show and tell.

Putting playing cards on the spokes of your bicycle w/ clothes pins to make noise.

Going to the library and bringing home a stack of kid books that smelled really good inside.

Reading comic books in bed w/ a flashlight.

Putting bubblegum on the bed post.
