Cool nights are a big reason I have stayed in this area.

Hi Abbi, where do you get all that info from ??

I see that the old 50s style radios are back in fashion, its weird Eh! a few years ago we were throwing them out
I noticed this today when I went to buy MK2 an electric fan, to cool her down
(always said she was "hot stuff"
Smudger,

Many of the 50's things are again.
They are making those kitchen tables and chairs again.
They have a cut out in the back of the chair and have viynl seats and linoleum tops with metal wraped around the sides, adjustable top size.

I was looking at an entertainment timeline.
I remember looking at my first TV through the screen door of a neighbors house back then.

hello everyone.some of these make me realise how how old i am!!!!!!

Yea! Its funny to see all this 50s stuff in the shops as they couldnt wait to get rid of it all back then

Mind you, for someone who was around during the 50s, I never imagined that technoligy would go so far as it has

Another point to remember is that the population of the world has Doubled since those days!, now that is scary
Smudger,

Yey! Folks!! we cant let this thread dissapear now, Smurfles wont be chuffed and besides, we have had it for so long now
Smudger,

I agree with you Smudger.

So You all know how fashions return,Have you seen the poncho's have come back,i remember my mom knitting the kids them way back.will have to get my crochet hook/knitting needles out.

i made ponchos as well,and the the children had them brought back from spain,which was a real treat back then!!!AND I STILL THINK SOME OF THE MINI'S LOOK LIKE BELTS!!!wish i could still wear em though!!!

HI Folks, Im gald this thread is going again, coz Ive had some good ideas for my Snippets from this thread
