https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Memory-Lane-care-to-join-me/m-p/260934#M114627 I was thinking of some of my favorite memories of my childhood this weekend, mostly due to a life crisis I am going through and a counselor advising me to start a journal. Anyway, we had a pretty typical upper middle class life. Nice house, new cars, my sisters and I never really wanted for that much. But we were raised with good manners always were grateful for what we had. We said please and thank you, and always ate dinner together as a family. One Christmas I got a little phonograph and some albums. I think I was around 8 or 9, so this would have been early 1970's. I absolutely adored that thing! Being the youngest of four girls, I rarely had a choice about what we listened to on the radio in the car, but that phonograph gave me so much joy. I spent hours listening to and singing along with all the albums my mom bought me. One I remember very fondly was Free to Be, You and Me. Does anyone remember that? I think I could still sing all the songs from it now. I also loved the Sesame Street Book and Record, even though I didn't watch Sesame Street when I was a kid. I had an album that had Yogi Bear telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood, I think. I remember we played outside all day. We skated, rode bikes, swam, played silly made up games and board games too. Summer felt like it lasted forever, and so did weekends. We had to stay in our neighborhood, and to be back inside the house as soon as the street lights came on. Do you have any great memories like mine that you'd like to share?
