Baby Boomers

(25,817 posts)Here are some things that I remember fondly, being at the tail end of the boomer age bracket:
Family visits where we entertained ourselves with tall tale telling and singing around the piano together.
Waking up to the black and white test pattern.
Getting paid a dollar an hour to baby sit at age nine.
Hootenanny time at the park.
My first transistor radio with the single ear plug.
Learning to crochet, knit, embroider and tat from my grandmother.
Adding to your card catalog memory, the pride of being able to write my name on the card from the envelope in back of a book when checking it out from the library.
Waiting for The Bookmobile at the end of the road in the summer.
Great post, ButSeeYa. Thank you. ♡
