These are some of my memories. Remember these? Or any that you don't remember?

Do be a do bee
Dont be a don't bee

Red Rover

Screen doors

Hide and go seek

Trick or treating till you fill up your Schwegmann bag.

Cabbage ball in the street

Sitting on your screen porch

When kindergarten was called primer

May crownings at school

Milk deliveries in glass bottles put into a metal box by the back door.

Parking in the beach parking lot while attending LSUNO

Dodge the ball

Drinking from the hose

Bringing the broom, paint brushes and white wash to the cemetary on All saints Day.

The taffy man coming down the strret with his cart and mule.

Broadmoor Kiddie shop for school uniforms

Laying in the back window of the car

The whole family taking Sunday drives with the windows down.

The first time seeing Wizard of Oz in color. Munchkinland and Emerald city was so beautiful.

Cokes were soft drinks,...not sodas, sodas came from the KB soda fountain

Going to the drive-in on summer nights with pics on the dash board.

Bringing back coke bottles to get 2 cents each

Getting dressed up to go to Canal street for a movie or shopping.

More to come soon.........
