[QUOTE="DDD, post: 243646, member: 35"] The Catholic Church played a big role in my family too. [B]Every [/B]Sunday we went to mass, [B]every [/B]Saturday we went to confession, [B]every [/B]Friday we did not eat meat. Since we had to go to confession weekly we were reminded often that " God knows all and sees all" which sometimes meant that we hesitated to take baths in our birthday suits. LOL Roller skating with the key swinging from a twine necklace. Riding bikes so far away from the house that nobody could see you. Playing paper dolls in the living room where my big sister claimed the best "houses" under the biggest chairs. Playing Parchesi and checkers and chinese checkers. Reading Nancy Drew Mysteries. [B]Playing cards [/B]with siblings, parents, friends. Listening to others play the piano, guitar, banjo, sax etc. and dreading "my turn". Singing oldie goldies (and I do mean oldie, goldies of the 20's,30's,40's) with the whole family. Singing silly songs with friends. The joy of hanging out at the drug store counter pigging out. The joy of hanging out at the record store listening to the newest 45's in the private listening booths. The joy of hanging out at the drive-in when we could drive. That was [B]the center of our world[/B]. Our parents would call and ask the Owner "is DDD down there?" When he said I was my parents would say "please tell her to head home now." :winking: I was blessed to live at the end of the "semi-formal" and "formal" dance era. Somehow I didn't ever expect that would end. We had such awesome dresses, jewelry, high heels and bands. OMG the guys looked so handsome and behaved like Cary Grant. The 50's were wonderful. By the 60's we had keg parties, the Hully Gully, the Mashed Potatoes, and Rock and Roll was in full swing. I wouldn't trade those days either.Then, lol, came marriage and the children. Sesame Street, Lite Brites,hula hoops....and lots of music and cards! Some things stayed the same. Mainly ?? the aromas of good things cooking, friends always welcome and the cavaet..."God knows all and sees all." DDD [/QUOTE]
