    Kbug..that reminds me too of something we always did.

    We had a corner grocery store.  They had the candy counter and the shelves under glass were filled with baskets of penny candy. We would go there whenever we had a few extra pennies or any spare change. It was a quick walk there...and an enjoyable one home!

    I loved captain Kangaroo! And Sheri Lewis and Lamchop.

    I think as a child, Bewitched was one of my favorite shows...I wanted her to be my mom!

    I loved playing hopscotch...making them all over the sidewalk and driveway...and finding the best rock to be my marker!
