    Lamb Chops and Charlie Horse, Chatty Cathy, Give a show projector, hulu hoops, skipping, first day of school with my new clothes,  picking out valentines to give away, waiting for the new season of cartoons and remembering the old ones like Pixie and Dixie, Huckleberry Hound, Casper the friendly ghost, Oggie Doggie & Doggie Daddy, Wally Gator.

    Hanging out with my big brother and his friends. He is 11 years older than me so I'm sure it was a pain to have baby sister tagging along every where. As I got older I had big crushes on some of his friends. He would always tell them he was gonna beat the snot out of them if they even looked at me the wrong way. It's a wonder I ever got married and had children cause all the guys had to deal with him.

    Hanging around my grandfather's pasture, helping him find little lost calves caught up in the barbed wire in the heat.  I have a letter my mother saved all these years telling her how when we found the "little red calf, it was almost dead."

    That's a good one, Foots!  They showed it once a year, and it was always such an exciting event!

    One of my favorite childhood memories was when I received Donny Osmond's "Superstar" album (yes, on vinyl) for my 10th birthday.  It was virtually impossible to find, but my dear Aunt found it,  I have a picture somewhere of me jumping up and down like a lunatic after opening it and discovering what it was.
