Thanks, Mayfly, for starting my day with a huge smile!
Gosh, I had almost forgotten about most of that stuff!
I was SO in love with Shaun Cassidy! "That's Rock 'n' Roll... c'mon everybody, get down, get 'with it'..." I'd watch the Hardy Boys each week JUST to moon over him.
I had one of those Holly Hobby shadow box pictures that was supposed to look 3-D. And a Holly Hobby doll, too. (I named my daughter Holly, BTW.
)
I had the Dorothy Hamill haircut, and yep, I was in love with Gopher AND Bo Duke (though now I'm older, I think Luke is definitely the hunk).
The Donny and Marie barbies are still in my attic.
And yep, I would tape stuff off the TV on my tape recorder with the cute little microphone. I had the theme songs to BJ and the Bear and One Day at a Time and The Jeffersons.. I don't remember what else.
The Wizard of Oz is still a big event at my house. When I was little, I'd always fall asleep somewhere around the flying monkeys, and it wasn't 'til I was much older that I got to the end and realized it was all a dream. I felt really gypped when I did, though!
Thanks for the memories,
Becky
