Billy D. We're from the same era!

Boy Bill D., you sure stired up a bunch of memories!!!! Here's a few for you.

Milking cows by hand, turning the cream seperator by hand.
Going to the ice box before and after each meal for butter and milk.
Getting a sliver of ice from the ice man on a hot day.
White ole with a yellow bubble that you had to squeeze.
Friday night movie with 25 cents to spend, 10 for the movie, 5 for popcorn, 5 for candy, and 5 for an icecream cone or fountain soda at the drug store after.
Serials at the begaining of each movie - Superman, Durango Kid, Flaming Arrow, Lashlaroo (sp.)
On Radio, Cisco Kid and Poncho, Grand old Opera, Amos and Andy,
Creaking Door, Green Hornet General Electric Theater
Being able to take your rifle or shotgun to school to do a talk about cleaniing and gon safety.
Hauliing an outhouse to main street on Halloween, or moving one slightly back on its hole. (You young guys know what an outhouse is???)
Street cruising on a Sat. night
Outdoor movies, filling up the trunk to get in free.
Raiding watermellon patchs
Tee shirts, blue jeans and engineer boots
Poodle skirts and saddle shoes.
This could go on & on!!!
