I guess I'm a child of the 60's, having been born in 1960 <g> My
memory sucks though. I do remember penny candy. I think candy bars
were about 10c when I was a kid. You got your gas tank filled by a
proper attendant AND received a grape jelly glass and green stamps :-)
Mom's specialties (why I learned to cook!) were goop and tuna
bumsteads. Bewitched and Gilligan's Island were my favorite tv shows.
My favorite lunch was grilled cheese (Wonder Bread and either Velveeta
or Kraft singles) and Campbell's tomato soup. We didn't have air
conditioning in the house and somehow we survived (utterly
inconceivable at this point in my life).

Life was good. I was blessed with loving parents. And a PITA sister
;-)
