I’ve decided to make Friday my day to visit the past.
In 1977 the movie Star Wars came out and to this day is still very popular. My son had many of the Star War figures and I still have some left over that the grandkids have played with so much that their limbs are loose and ready to fall off.
How many of you remember these little people? Back in 1983 crazy people (like me) were standing in line to purchase the dolls? Yes, it was a wild time trying to get these little dolls. People fighting and arguing about their place in line. These dolls are still around today with much less hoopla.
And here’s the little pony ride that looks a little dangerous , but all my three kids used it and enjoyed it. Now a days you would probably have to put a helmet on the babies. Back in the day it was a popular item.
And please don’t ask me why I still have these items, I just do. Sometimes it hard for moms to let go!

love your blog (came across it from I comment you left on the daily post- about blog hops)…anyway I was born in the 80s, so I loved cabbage patch kids, treasure trolls, etc. I never got into Star Wars but I would probably like it now if I saw it from the beginning.

I was a Freshman in college (and still a big kid) when Cabbage Patch Kids first came out. My mom was on a business trip in Louisville, KY and luckily happened to find one for me without having to wait in any lines. Very little from my childhood was saved when my dad sold the home I grew up in, but magically I still have my Cabbage Patch doll in a box in the attic!
I really like your blog, I just started mine. Did you work as a library tech in a school or at a public library? I was a teacher for 16 years, before making a career change to public relations.

Thank you for the follow. I actually worked school first and then hired on for our public library, which is so different from the school libraries.
