List It Tuesday

How quickly one forgets. Just last week I decided to participate in Aimee's List It Tuesday and then this morning I forgot all about it until I began to read the blogs to which I subscribe. So after yoga and a chiropractic adjustment, I am home again and have played a bit in Photoshop to make my list of nostalgic items.







And thinking about this list and reminiscing about my young years, I was reminded that I had a photo taken in the mid-50s of myself and a few siblings that I thought might be appropriate to share at this time.


Kathy, Anne, Jane, John, and moi


I am on the far right and my sister, Jane, is in the middle. We were only a year apart and for whatever reason (fairness, limited choices?) we were nearly always bought the same things with a bit of variation in the color. In this photo we both have on corduroys and striped shirts. You can see the variation in the color of the cords, but I am guessing that one of the shirts was predominantly blue and the other, green.


How about you? Do you want to join in this list making fun? Here is a link to List It Tuesday at Aimee's blog.

  2. I consumed a great deal of Kool-Aid as a child (sometimes it was "Wylers" because Mom got it on sale!) lol A great list, Vicki!

  4. I miss drive-ins, loved tetherball (even though I was terrible at it!), and had to sneak to friends' houses for Kool-Aid because my mother refused to buy it for us!
    Thanks for sharing!
