Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, when the cost of a home was $10,250.00.....when the average income was $3,960.00 a year....when a new car cost $1,700.00....when movie tickets were .70 each...when postage stamps were .03 each....when Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe....when On the Waterfront, Rear Window and White Christmas were playing at the 'picture show'....I looked like this:

Remember when cars looked like this?

And when moms looked like this?

Or when having a glass of Kool-Aid with your friends constituted a party?


The best parties are the ones where all the guests love you!

Thanks ya'll for making my birthday so much fun. It took the pain out of turning #@&!
