Fried Chicken dinners
So many people there for Christmas that you had to step over legs to walk through the living room.
Dinging the door bell chimes and trying not to get caught.
Grandpa's hospital bed with that triangle thing - so much fun to play on!
She always had white sliced cheese.
Watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Archie Bunker (Grandpa's favorite show?!)
That one light switch that turned off the tv.
Playing Password with Patti, Nancy, and Karla.
Grandpa's card holder thing
I remember one time my parents go in "trouble" by Grandma for getting us McDonalds b/c we were late for lunch. She said, she could always make us something.
Eating off those tv trays in the living room.
Playing in the car in the garage and locking the boys out.
Calling for Megan next door and running away. (ok, we were naughty kids!)

gross!
I remember when Mom made lie soap. She would pour the stinky stuff in a wooden box with dividers. After it cooled and the individual soap squares were removed she handed us kids a grater and we grated it into a powder form. I guess it dissolved faster in the wringer washer.
I talked to Mom this past weekend. The grated soap was for the automatic washer. The soap bar wouldn't dissolve completely, so when the cycle was completed there was still part of a bar of soap sitting in the washer. Which meant, there was still soap in the clothes that didn't get rinsed out. Therefore, the reason for grating the soap. Funny bits of information.
