BLOG DAY # 77 in a day of my life. Blast from the past. PART 3. Those memories come back in many forms from the past. Join me for part 3.

     There are so many images that bring back vivid memories of times gone by. Some you will have used-some you will have seen and then there are those that you never saw. All have a link to your past.

  Although I never owned one-I do remember seeing this- just can't quite remember where. Reel to reel tapes were not REAL in our house!  LOL

Tinker toys & Erector sets.
I know I had the first-the second I did not have-maybe too expensive?

  But I DID HAVE THESE! I spent hours and hours playing with the Lincoln Logs set. I would build a fort- and then turn the little logs upright as imaginary cowboy's and soldiers protecting the fort from Indians! I did this for years as it was my favorite toy- some inner kid in me wishes somehow I had them back- to place them as a trophy-you often wonder what happened to them-at least I do!

    Yes folks- I do remember this! LOL

Growing up-when I finished my freshmen year- it was at this point I HAD TO HAVE A JOB! I went to work for BUD BURR at the end of my Sophomore year. I worked there during the summers and pumped gas among other things- and 25 cent gas was it! People thought that was high-and it contained lead. Why when they took the lead out-didn't the price drop? WHO KNOWS!

    GREEN STAMPS! Everyone saved them in their books
made especially for GREEN STAMPS. You would see signs everywhere. I can remember friends of my parents , Lena & Dee Wright-coming to our house after they had returned from vacation and telling my parents how they were traveling out west- they came around the bend- and there was a sign- "JESUS SAVES" and right below it was another sign "GREEN STAMPS" This brought a lot of laughs at the house that night. I always remember that when I see GREEN STAMPS! LOL

  HERE IS THE ORIGINAL 15 cent HAMBURGER!

Did not have one in our area- as I mentioned before-but it was out there-I do not remember the first time I saw this sign. BUT I REMEMBER CARROL'S!

  I collected baseball cards-had lots of them. They might of been worth something today if I had saved them. I also remember you got decals of major Universities- the one I remember the most as a kid was DUKE BLUE DEVILS-it was cool as it had a red and blue devil with horns-was lined with silver-I put that one on my bike- although I had no Idea where Duke was or what it represented- BUT IT WAS COOL! LOL

 YES PENNY CANDY! On the way to the old School in Eldred was a little store on Mechanic street called "AUNT MAYS" I would head there when I had a few pennies! That was PRICELESS! There also was a store on main street-can't quite remember the name-something like Roses? They had a whole aisle up front with penny candy!
  Good old George and the 5 cent stamp! Yes it is true! LOL
  You know- there was no microwave-we would pop this on the stove over the gas burner-I can still see it-hear it and smell it. Memories are great!

This will be the last one for today. It has been great bringing these back!

   I never made one of these- same as I am not very TECHIE today!

But I remember them-seems like the "GIRLS" made them! LOL I do not know if it was a guy thing !

Anyways- I will post part 4 tomorrow, so hang in there for some more BLASTS FROM THE PAST!

Keep those comments coming as they also bring back the memories!  HGD
