Yes! Pea coats!
I wore mine out.

Loved the era of the 'funky' drinks...Yellowbirds...my dad had a giant bottle of Galiano on the bar...

A game - "Spill the Beans"...where you tried not to be the one to tip over a little basket...

How about sitting around with your family and someone would start singing: "There goes (insert name)floating down the Delaware, chewing on her underware- can't afford another pair-10 days later eaten by a polar bear that was the end of her !!!"
And they go all around the room..I hate when they got to me..when I was real young I'd cry. I need another Kamikaze please.

Mousetrap.

(I'm sure someone mentioned it earlier...but I loved setting that game up, so wanted to mention it again...)

Don't Break the Camel's back. I used to love that game.

Yep, we had Tip-It and Ker-plunk (pulling out sticks and trying not to let the marbles fall through)

Mousetrap, too.

Anyone own a crocheted Poncho????

pouring Bboobs another Kamikazee...

I would usually mess up in 'geography' where the family would go around and have to name a place that began with the letter that the previous place ended with. My sister always sat next to me. And always said St. Croix. And I always lost...

In grammar school all the girls wore those long crochetted vests.

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:22pm

on road trips - in the back of the station wagon - we'd play a fierce game of "I spy with my little eye..."

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:23pm

I had one of those vests. I loved it!

And my macrame belt with the long fringe with beads at the end of the ties...

Do you remember those road trip games...they looked like a bingo board and would have many signs on them and whenever you spotted one you would slip a plastic piece over it. The first one to get everything covered on the board was the winner. That kept us kids very busy.

was anybody a girl or boy scout?

sewing all those badges on my sash....that was a chore! I loved my girl scout camping equipment. And my brownie fly-up ceremony!!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:26pm

My mother had a large box of those games....I loved them!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:27pm

Cub Scout, Weblo and Boy Scout...I'm still "Always Prepared".

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:27pm

Boy Scout...yeah....I remember making my mom a clove studded apple to hang in the closet.

Go figure

beacon - I remember when the "midi" skirt was in fashion...I had a delightful midi dress - in a bandana pattern. I loved it!

And chokers - macrame ones, or velvet ones with cameo's glued on to the center...They were particularly groovy...

Girl Scout for wayyyyyyy too long!! Made it all the way up to Cadet. Used to love my moving up ceremonies and the Father/Daughter dinners and the campouts. Campfire songs and sit-upons and my mess kit. Oh, whom I kidding. I probably wasn't a girl scout long enough!! I recently found the sash with my badges and pins on it.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/30/04 at 11:29pm

Jose - I made a clove-apple, too!!!

I never knew what happened to it...hmmmm....

brownie, junior, cadette, Senior, Camp Counselor, Registered Adult. Even earned my "First Class" status which was the equivalent of Eagle Scout and got a letter from President Jimmy Carter.

My mom was a leader and, many times, the Cookie Chairman and we had those boxes stacked to the ceiling in the laundry room.
