I think we all did? Hopefully the ones that still do are

Funny how, in 1776, England fought to keep the 13 Colonies in their fold.
Less than 100 years later, they couldn't wait to get rid of us in the North!

If we're talking about unsupervised children, I agree. If we're talking

Gr. You remind me of my brother who burned up my puppets (Howdy Doody and

LOL! I knew someone would ask that.
Frankly, I don't remember. We sort of had one family camera back then and
everyone shot slides back then too. I do faintly remember that we got a newer one
somewhere along the line. So we probably ended up with two and my brother got
