When we played outside in the woods for hours and no one worried.
Having my mom ring a bell for me to come home for dinner as I was out playing in the street ("supper").
Getting dressed up for everything.
Sledding down my street because it didn't get plowed within five minutes, like they do now.
Watching Ed Sullivan, the Beatles, and getting my first Beatles album. I would play the record, really loud on Sat. afternoons, with the windows open and sing really loudly with it (5th grade).
Riding my Raleigh 3 speed up huge hills. Riding after dark with the generator light.
When WBZ talk radio was a rock station....
Moving to Florida and realizing that not everyone wore bell bottoms, black turtlenecks, and smoked weed. Culture shock.

When you could actually see 70 miles across the Valley and Phoenix had 300,000 people
Downtown Tempe was sleazy. Then the Pope came to visit and it was redone and became upscale.
KDKB rocks Arizona
Earthen' Joy, the original natural restaurant
Disco dancing at Bogarts at the Town and Country Mall.
My 5 speed from Tempe Bicycles, riding to summer school class in a sun dress, no helmet, and my Sun Devil book bag. I still have that.
Ninth and Ash. Happy hour with friends and my husband's 26th birthday when I was 9 months pregnant
When my first house was built, it backed up to Warner Rd. in Chandler, which was a dirt road. We couldn't get a phone for 3 months because of all of the growth, so far "out." (1980).
When people thought my second house, in south Tempe was in the boonies. There were cornfields and a sheep farm at the end of my street, outside the development.

June 4, 1990 when our plane landed at Logan Airport. It was like the past 21 years had gone by in the blink of an eye. I left as a 15.5 year old and came back as a 36 year old mom with 2 kids.
