Walk Down Memory Lane with us 55+'ers...

My first LPs were mono.

Chemistry sets.

The original Chuck Taylor Converse tennis shoes.

Very few high school girls sports teams.

Very few high school boys sports teams.

Your mom could bake birthday treats for your classroom.

Chalkboards and cleaning erasers.

Nobody thought much about a bunch of kids playing together after dark in the neighborhood.

One thing that hasn't changed is High School football on Friday Night still rules! It just now instead of one high school in town there is 3 or 4.

How many people remember hanging out in "teen" centers where there was nothing but black lights and florescent paint? Now we have Starbucks.

Remember when "fun" on Sunday was skipping Sunday School and going fishing? Wait. My bad. It still is fun.

Who'd have thought thirty years ago we'd be sitting here drinking Chateau du Chasselais?
