The table and chairs in the 4th picture look like the ones my grandparents had.

My great grandma had the same.

Some good memories there. I don’t know if skating rinks are still popular or not, but when I was a kid it was a BIG deal to have your birthday party at the roller rink.

I loved Big Boy’s burgers. Also liked the long-gone chain Burger Chef.

Don’t know about now (maybe too dangerous or full of RAP music) ....but I was going to them all through the 70’s.

We had something like that...Casa Mañana.

My grandparents had a lawn chair like this.

Funny, something so ordinary and insignificant, in the day, can hold such fond memories.

A few months ago, I saw a plate, bowl and coffee cup at Cracker Barrel, that had a pink rose pattern on it. When I was buying them, my 85 year old mom asked why I was buying them. I said Grandma had a set like these. She couldn't believe I remembered them.
Grandma's been gone for over 30 years now and though the dishes aren't hers, they remind me of her.

I was talking with my cousins about a year ago, about some of the things we remembered about grandma and grandpa and their house. We all fondly remember drinking out of there colored metal cups, like these

I saw mad Mad mad mad world at that very theatre on a high school field trip

Lol...My Aunt had these metal cups...I can remember a summers day in 66 and coming in from playing, my Aunt grabbed these colored cups, went to her Wards refrigerator, took out a glass pitcher of cold tap water and poured us all a cup. To this day when I am thirsty and gulp down a glass of water....that memory flashes back.

My grandparents lived on a farm in Michigan, with well water. The water had a high iron content. So, even though there was no real taste to the cup, the reminder of that cold, metallic tasting water still lingers.

Cracker Barrel had some somewhat similar remakes a number of years back. I should have bought them.

Someday, I'll go on ebay and find me a set.

Here's another memory I had from my grandpa.
