I hope all is going well with your husband.<br /><br />"Absolutely love the vintage pics you shared. I'm sure the photos of the Pan American Hotel were a great find for you."<br /><br />OMG, I literally jumped for joy when I saw it because I was instantly transported back in time when my family stayed there. It felt like yesterday!<br /><br />" But even though your childhood was far from what the 50-60s portrayed (whose wasn't?), it's still a hoot to look back and reminisce about those high points."<br /><br />You said it, my friend! And Happy Summer to you and your family!<br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-33866888944651640312017-07-25T09:56:12.925-04:002017-07-25T09:56:12.925-04:00The summer has flown by....it's already the en...The summer has flown by....it's already the end of July and I've not kept up with any of my bloggy friends. Yes! I remember a lot of these summer memories. Some are still part of our summer traditions (Dairy Queen, sparklers, potato salad, deviled eggs, corn on the cob). Absolutely love the vintage pics you shared. I'm sure the photos of the Pan American Hotel were a great find for you. When I was young, we went on those "family vacations" and all I really remember are my parents arguing! But even though your childhood was far from what the 50-60s portrayed (whose wasn't?), it's still a hoot to look back and reminisce about those high points.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-90207165283603296062017-07-24T19:20:24.267-04:002017-07-24T19:20:24.267-04:00"Definitely know the song, but didn't kno..."Definitely know the song, but didn't know who did it.

Whenever I hear it, it instantly transports me back in time.<br /><br />" and later the plastic tube ones"<br /><br />Yup...I remember those as well!!!!<br /><br />". We didn't belong to the private pool in town, but had our own in the backyard... and 2 other friends had them too... so it was summers of pool hopping."<br /><br />Oh, what a GREAT memory!!!!<br /><br />"I do remember my mom's potato salad. She fried bacon and crumbled it to mix in. Mmm! So that's usually how I make it. And I just made corn on the cob the other night. "<br /><br />OMG...that sounds SO GOOD! And your mention of corn of the cob makes me want to get some tomorrow on my day off and cook it for dinner. I just may do that. <br /><br />As you know, I am so not a summer person. And for the reason you mentioned - WAY TOO MUCH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. Especially this year! YUCK!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, neighbor!

Now I do. ;)<br />Relating to many of the things in this post! Oh, those wretched lawn chairs. My parents had one of two of those, and later the plastic tube ones. We didn't belong to the private pool in town, but had our own in the backyard... and 2 other friends had them too... so it was summers of pool hopping. Sadly, these days we aren't enjoying summers as much. Our bbq hasn't been used in a couple years. We're out there long enough to cut grass and pick veggies from the garden. Too much humidity, and the bugs... *SIGH*<br />I do remember my mom's potato salad. She fried bacon and crumbled it to mix in. Mmm! So that's usually how I make it. And I just made corn on the cob the other night. <br />Thanks for the walk down memory lane!<br />Happy Summer!Maryhttp://www.roamingwithmary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-42749987372878113972017-07-13T23:09:31.665-04:002017-07-13T23:09:31.665-04:00Hey there Pat!

That little affair ended with the police at our house because my mom threatened him."<br /><br />OMG...that's HILARIOUS!!!<br /><br />And yes, you're right....if we could have COMPLETELY covered our bodies in zinc oxide, we would have prevented so many sun BURNS - HA!<br /><br />"Corn on the cob is still one of my favorite things to eat."<br /><br />Yup...is it not THE BEST? I could eat it 12 months out of the year!<br /><br />"The one rule was that we'd better be home by dark. Other than that, we could do what we wanted. My mom never asked what we had been doing all day, and we never told her."<br /><br />Oh what GREAT memories! Wasn't summer as a kid, the BOMB?<br /><br />Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by and sharing your childhood summer memories, Pat! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them!!<br /><br />Hope you're having a fabulous summer!<br /><br />Cheers!Ronhttp://www.triloquist.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-8803565698765772892017-07-13T20:31:49.049-04:002017-07-13T20:31:49.049-04:00I had a lot of fun with my pump up rocket. Right u...I had a lot of fun with my pump up rocket. Right up until it landed on the one neighbor's roof, that you would least want it to land on. That little affair ended with the police at our house because my mom threatened him. Every time I see somebody with zinc oxide on their nose these days, I have to laugh. We used to use it, and it sure did protect our noses. Too bad the rest of us got fried!<br /><br />I preferred RC Cola over Coke. But would drink any soda if given the chance. We didn't have backyard picnics, but regularly had fish fries instead. Corn on the cob is still one of my favorite things to eat.<br /><br />The thing I remember most about the summers of my childhood, was camping with my granny. When I was home, we'd NEVER be in the house during the day time.pathttp://patricktillett.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-81151340923001064192017-07-12T23:24:01.706-04:002017-07-12T23:24:01.706-04:00Hey ho Robert!

It's the heat and humidity that really bothers me during the summer. Heat makes me very uncomfortable :) <br /><br />I feel so blessed having had the parents I did. They really enjoyed making sure we had a great time throughout all the various seasons and holidays. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, buddy. Have a great rest of your week!<br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-73813886902848674682017-07-12T23:16:31.458-04:002017-07-12T23:16:31.458-04:00:)

I know you and I don't feel the same about summertime, but I think it's wonderful that you can look back and share the fond memories you had of your childhood and a time when you did love summer!<br /><br />Great photographs! I really enjoyed looking back on your childhood. And i love your honesty about it not being picture perfect, yet you remember only the good and how much you were supported, cared for, and loved by my parents.<br /><br />Beautiful Ron!
