Somewhere I still have a huckleberry Hound plush toy. I am sure he is worse for the wear, his felt hat is probably squished flat. If only I had kept him safely on a shelf instead of in the pile of plush toys on my bed. I had dozens on my bed. I kept a few, and haven't seen them in years.

Thats it! Now that I think about it Blabber mouse sounds right----did the mouse call him snoops or snoopsy-----snooper is not ringing the bell with me. Was there a different cat called Top Cat? My siblings and I watched way too many cartoons in our day----but they were so much better back then. All time favorite has to be the old Bugs Bunny cartoons-------and you know at Christmas I always did like to see the Mr Magoo Christmas Carol special.

I definitely remember Top Cat, I had a couple of books from the show. He was too cool, man.
I agree about Bugs Bunny, they were, and still are, the best. So clever and witty.

I have never seen a brown and white skunk....how long did you have him? I had a baby squirrel who was totally hairless when I found him on the sidewalk....named him Socks since I would cut the ends off of socks and wrap him in them. I liked Top Cat....TC....and the little fat one named Bennie. Remember the cartoons from Captain Kangaroo?....Tom Terrific with his Mighty Manfred the Wonder dog. And then there was Crabby Appleton and Isotope Fennie. I forget if Clyde Crashcup and his assistant Barnaby were part of that group or where they came from. And then there were Fractured FariyTales with Evert Evert Horton narrating.....think those were part of the Rocky & Bullwinkle show.
When my sister and I were little, my mother would have someone take us to the movies on Sat. early and they would show something like 100 cartoons....Mr.Magoo was always one of them. That would get us out of her hair for hours!! If you stayed there was always a feature movie that was uaually a Disney film like The Shaggy Dog or sometimes a scary one like House on Haunted Hill. Since it was a matinee it was cheap, but I forget how cheap, 50 cents maybe?

Marybe, the kids in my neighborhood went to the "show" almost every Saturday. I think it was only 25 cents there in the early days because I remember getting 35 cents total, the extra 10 cents for candy. The parents never took us, they dropped us off. Cheap babysitting! Like yours, our "show" had Disney and horror movies, Elvis, James Bond, etc.and they usually showed an older movie first, then a cartoon intermission, then the featured movie. That was before movie ratings, of course, and I saw a lot of movies that would be at least PG-13 WAY before I was 13. They did have an age cut-off sometimes, but I think it was 7 or 10 years old. I remember this because a few times the little brothers and sisters had to stay home. Unfortunately the theater closed around the time I became a teenager. Then it re-opened as an X-rated place. NO, I never went again!

I remember two of the movies the babysitter got into trouble for staying and watching A Patch of Blue and David and Lisa. An extra dime for candy would have been a lot then....a box of something,..nonparells (sp?) or Juju fruits , Jr mints or something and some necco waffers or maybe a candy bar. Now the candy and popcorn cost more than the movie!!!

We used to get dropped off at the movies on Saturday afternoons too! Mom was always running late and usually we'd miss the first part of the movie, but you could stay and watch the part you missed. Popcorn came in those red and white striped boxes for 50 or 75 cents and you could get a pop too and still have some money left over. Jujubes, jujifruits, milk duds, sugar babies, -----the candy group aka 'cavity pullers' !
When I was in jr high, I remember the theater was showing some old movies, and a friend and I went and saw the Disney film 'Flubber'. I remember us laughing and laughing------years later when I saw it again I couldnt remember what we found so hysterical. Just a case of the jr high girl giggles, I guess. It does feel so good to laugh like that sometimes----I could use a good belly laugh!

Native Maine: thanks for the Evening in Paris reminder. I remember riding my bike down to Woolworths to get a fountain soda & buy nailpolish for my Mom for Christmas. I wore Evening in Paris in junior high, then went to L'Air du Temps in late High School. My Mom liked Arpege. My Grandma wore White Shoulders. Many "memory scents" are available at Vermont Country Store but they are pricey. Also I've read that quite a few are not the same "base" so the scents are different.

I was thinking of Jergen's at noon today. My dad was close friends of a Chinese herbalist named Doc Sue. He had his herbs and Chinese medical stuff in the back of his corner market. When I was young, Doc Sue died and my dad was in charge of clearing out the store. We were allowed to go in and pick out a couple of items. I got writing paper and a bottle of Jergen's. I remember my mother picked up waxed paper sandwich bags. Crazy litle memory jogs.
