I realize this post is mostly about “guy” stuff, but for the women here these are the things I remember from that era.
Liddle Kiddles, Flatsy Dolls and of course Barbies were all the thing. I remember my mom sewing culottes and skimmer tops for me for summer wear and they always included rick rack trim for some reason. She also made my Raggedy Ann doll matching outfits. What a mom!
She was also a culinary trailblazer making tacos and fondue and pseudo Chinese food. My friends thought we were so exotic. Miss you mom!
My big sister remembers me eating cookies out of her ‘easy bake oven’ from a little before 1971.
Thought of another - Troll dolls.
As we got older it was sneaking in the trunk of a car for the price of one to get five of us into a drive in movie. Never met a firework I was afraid of either. Ba boom!
