They have kept me entertained for years. <br /><br />Our Friday night tradition was popcorn and getting to stay up to watch "Late Movie Shocker" films on TV. My older brother was mesmerized by Frankenstein, the Mummy, Wolfman. It was fun to sneak up on him. One little "boo" and he would jump up, almost to the ceiling.

Remember them? She would fill her super GIGONDO purse (size of a small makeup train case) with all she could grab. God rest her soul but it sure was fun to watch her in action:) I bet she would have tried to take home a monkey if there was one:) Thanks for the memories.<br />JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023307609205834495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-10878670040710362872009-07-10T14:39:44.131-07:002009-07-10T14:39:44.131-07:00Sue, my 87 year old Mom who lives in Brooklyn, and...Sue, my 87 year old Mom who lives in Brooklyn, and who's never been to Florida, wraps things in her napkin and puts them in her purse...lol...it must be a "Growing up during the Depression" thing!<br /><br />When my children were little we had Friday pizza and a video night!

It was called The Duck Inn. They made homemade French fries with the skin on them. They also had a special salad dressing that they made, and we loved to dip our French fries into that salad dressing.KBeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749986838867446338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-20566363713911064842009-07-10T09:54:34.865-07:002009-07-10T09:54:34.865-07:00Are you sure you're not making this stuff up? ...Are you sure you're not making this stuff up? How come I'm the only one without a funny family story to my name? At my house it was all about boredom and hard work...ugh. I'm now starting to wonder if my kids will think the same although daughter kept us all in stitches over her sincere desire to be a country music star at 4, even though we had never listened to that music in our house. And then there was her used battery stand in the front yard, in direct competition with the lemonade stand on the corner...I'd get in huge trouble for ever recounting it though!<br /><br />As always, great story Sue! <br /><br />EllenNouveau Stitchhttp://nouveaustitch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445101225590239389.post-26637465461207350282009-07-10T09:21:45.429-07:002009-07-10T09:21:45.429-07:00I'm so glad you posted today.

Well they did play as they were drinkers, but not happy ones. Fortunately, I've broken that cycle. Have a great weekend.
