Yes it is a pity about the younger generations not being readers. My love of books came from Mom. Weekly trips with her to the Library from a young age. I read Dracula when I was 12. Ann Frank. All of the Nancy Drew books. Sister too. We couldn't wait to get our own libra...

LOLOL!!!!!! Kids today don't know what they're missing. Our generation were able to entertain themselves. From what I see these days even toddlers seem to have electronic games. Also, I don't think reading is so popular now. I loved reading and so did my children .... they sti...

Hi MD and Stargzr. Yes I could have been chums with both of you. I was a cowgirl with a gun on each hip. Most of my friends at the time were boys and it worked out well being a tomboy. My sister was four years younger and sometimes I'd allow her to play with us. I too remem...

Too true playing cowboys was serious!!! I had cap guns too. Our caps were in a roll .... the paper was pink and you could see a dark spot where the explosive stuff was. I think the smell was sulphur. I also had "bombs" - 2 pieces of metal that fit together with a cap insert...

Hah...that conjurs up quite a picture. I had a cap gun and would buy boxes of caps anytime I had a nickel. I can still smell whatever the heck was in those caps. :D Watching those old film clips did give me a laugh, too. But we were deadly serious when we played "cowboys" comp...

stargzr ..... I might have already put this on here but my grandparents were living in Canada and sent me a cowgirl outfit when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I have photos of myself with a bunch of other "cowboys and cowgirls" taken on the green outside our house. That really ...

Hi Silver Sqirrel..... I also liked thw scary ones and Bowery Boys, Abbott and Costello, etc., but the cowboys were my favorites. I was an only child and all my neighborhood friends were boys, so after the matinee we'd go back home and reinact the film. :D http://www.youtube.c...

You've taken me back to my days going to the movies with my little sister. Saturday matinees. Usually scary pics. I still enjoy them. A favorite was Vincent Price in The Tingler. I once got into trouble with an usher for eating a banana in the theater. Sis and I always pa...
