LIVING IN THE 1970's...WERE YOU THERE?

A few years ago I did a post

about some things from the

1960s--hair care, etc.

But-

I didn't touch on the 1970s much.

Let's take a little walk down

MEMORY LANE

shall we?

Did you grow up or 

become a young adult in the 1970s?

If so-You will remember some of these, I bet~

We had music, didn't we?

We had Elvis, The 5th Dimension, Sonny & Cher

and oh-so-many-more!

We girls wore clothes like these~

The maxi, the go-go boots & the mini-skirt-

The men in our lives wore this--oh my!

The hippie, the leisure suit & the hipster~

Some of us had these rides-

Not many of us had a ride like this....

And what did we eat?

Well, we ate casseroles-

And Jello Mold Salads

were all the rage-

We drank TAB-

We watched TV & Went Dancing & Loved Music

and I will talk about those things in another post.

The 1970s?

I could go on forever-

but right now I am going to play with my 

PET ROCKS!

Bet you wish you had kept yours.

I think I am going to do some more of these

1960s and 1970s posts!

Those were the years!!!

Whaddyathink?

DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN? CAN I BE A HIPPIE AT THIS AGE? HMMMM...

Well...

Jumping in with both feet

and hoping my butt will follow.

I am sad to say I no longer
have a camera.
I gave two of them away
at Christmas.
I was going to use
MY PHONE 
to take back few pics--
Yes! I! Was!

But then-

I surfed the web a bit,

found Pinterest and...

well...here you go.

Here is a day in my

Imaginary Life.

Can I get an Amen to

THAT THOUGHT?

Sometimes all we have to do

is believe in ourselves...

even if others are consumed with

doubt...

I do believe that I CAN!

Morning will find me on my way

to Starbucks or taking a
grandgirl to school.

This is a scene that is common in

our neck of the woods this time of year.

After a drive through

Winter Wonderland,

sipping my hot coffee,

I would love to come home to this

Sweet Tree

holding court on my sun porch.

Walking into my kitchen

I would find these happy

little faces smiling at me.

 

And, instead of making  

hair bows----

I might be tempted to make

a sweet little skirt...

or two...or three....

Won't be making one in my size,

thankyouverymuch,

because I already am

HIPPY enough.

Oh- Hippies---

Remember the 60s & 70s?

I do---

I loved the clothes-

Fortunately, 

I missed the drugs and free love

that was part of my generation.

I was 

TOO RESPONSIBLE

to do anything too wild.

I am thinking of going back to 

being a hippie...

but this is what I am afraid 

I would look like now...

Oh! Wait!

I will never be 

THAT SKINNY!  

Have a good day-

Let your hair down and

have a little fun!

I'll be back in a couple of days 

to share what new venture

I have embarked on....

Who says an old dog 

can't relearn their old tricks?
