i remember walking the dog, loop the loop, etc. all with a yo yo. i remember the wooden ones. waxing the string. the guy on tv who could do all the tricks with right and left hands at the same time.
I remember my cousins carving me little tiny baskets out of a chestnut for my doll house.Playing with dolls lasted 1 week than it was permanently in a closet. I was more a tomboy. We loved to carve little floatable canoes from a branch of a bush,or collecting corn kernels,drying them and using slingshots and kernels as ammunition to shoot at a target we built.

Sears (Sears & Roebuck back then) and Montgomery Wards were the biggest two catalogue companies. Each had annual catalogues (along with a Christmas catalogue) about 4 inches thick.
We used to duct tape them to our shins to act as goalie pads playing hockey on the ponds in the winter.
Stuckeys was the only place to stop when traveling in the middle of nowhere
Yummy for a pecan roll right?
