Regular Car Reviews: Regular Cars for Mortals “Cars are machines. But they’re also art form in what they inspire in auto enthusiasts. In a literary sense, cars are romanticism. The emotions they create overpower reason and fical responsibility. And that’s true of just about every...
The rainbow wedding of the 1970s primarily played out in bridesmaids’ dresses. It’s one of the best wedding trends of all times in my opinion. When I was a little girl I was definitely gonna have a rainbow wedding. I still love all those pastel colors together. I even love the hats and...

In 1976, my entire 3rd-grade class went on a field trip to a YMCA swimming pool in Colorado Springs. I was so excited! It was going to be the best field trip ever. I didn’t have a swimming suit so the night before the big day my older sister Becky altered her bright blue check bikini with the hot...
1980s Scrapbook Today’s Daily Photo is a page from my 1980s scrapbook. It features church ribbons from the 80s and field day ribbons from the 1970s. The church ribbons belonged to my mother. She let me have them when I put the scrapbook together all those many years ago. I loved to sit in church...
I remember classroom films and/or educational filmstrips from my school years with great fondness. The Red Balloon and Leo Beuerman were among my favorites.
