Remember when.....
The other day I was thinking about my mom's mom (my favorite grandma) and wondering what it would be like to know her today. I think I would appreciate her stories more now (not that I didn't then) because I would know better questions to ask. Thinking about this made me wonder what kind of stories I could tell, or the things that I could remember that future generations wouldn't know about, but I remembered when.
So, I thought of a few things, like the actual floppy disk. Or a casette tape. Or early computer games, like The Oregon Trail (that we'd play at school in the library.......and Derek would demand to shoot all the buffalo, but do none of the other stuff). Or when video game controlers only had the up, down, left, right arrows and the A or B option. Oh, so simple.
I was falling asleep when I was trying to come up with stuff and I thought of a bunch more, but have since forgotten. What things do you guys remember???

YES! I LOVED that computer game. So lame, yet we'd fight over who got to play first. Let's see, what else...let me think and I'll get back to you...
(Wait, did you ever do "Tell Turtle" I LOVED it!)
Oh, how 'bout VHS...
Ah! Yes! VHS! I was thinking about those contraptions that you put your tape in and it would rewind your tape, so as not to wear out your VCR........Be kind, please rewind!!!
Those were the days!
Wuzzles and Popples. From the Wuzzles characters, I had Eleroo (half kangaroo, half elephant). And I had an orange Popple with neon green hair.
