Not that you experienced them, but I guess I just never knew that you were even aware of a lot of these. Tell me, did you have to do a lot of reseaching? Of course I have to admit that I remember it all.........good memories, for the most part. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this. A lot of people really wanted to read this poem, so I guess I am really quite surprised that you haven't had any more comments. Oh well, the night is young and the weekend long, so I am sure more will do so. <br /><br />I, for one really did enjoy reading every word.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-16304718844909777772012-02-10T20:13:47.215-08:002012-02-10T20:13:47.215-08:00That was all before my time but I still consider i...That was all before my time but I still consider it "The good ole days".

I remember the air raids, blackout blinds and my Mom using makeup on her legs to look like she was wearing silk stockings ...then drawing a line up the back of the leg to cinch it! I remember that we were lucky to get meat once a month...usually ground sausage. Oh how I savored that sausage and made it last as long as I could. The music was the best. I grew up listening to all of that wonderful music. In my late teens, I have fond memories of dancing to Harry James on Saturday night at the Hollywood Paladium. We danced to Glen Miller songs and many others. It truly was the great generation. Thank you for the sentimental journey. (BTW, had one of my own last night listening to a tribute to The Carpenters).Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312849635126824129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-82625331959734217762012-02-10T06:15:07.813-08:002012-02-10T06:15:07.813-08:00Thank You Sue...
