Exploring the world from the seat of my bike. Where the grass is always greener on this side of the fence.

Mean Joe Green is 63
Mean Joe Green turned 63 on September 24th. I was listening to the radio that morning when they announced it and all sorts or childhood memories came flooding into my mind. Memories of three brothers. I was surrounded by boys. I have two sisters too, thank goodness! But they are 5 years older and 5 years younger. The boys and I were all born within 5 years of each other... I am right in the middle.
Oh boy...what a trip down memory lane. My Baby Tender Loves had a constant smell of Johnsons Baby Powder to her from her daily powder showers I gave her. Mom would let me pick out baby clothes at garage sales and once even bought me one of those old fashioned "car seats" with the two wire legs and the 70's gree floral plastic covered pad. Remember the ones? Aahh good times!!
I never had a Baby Tender Love. Didn't want one. I was the tomboy. Climbing trees, catching frogs and playing in the creek. But I'm sure we would have been friends anyway. As long as you didn't try to push the babydoll thing on me. tee hee
What a fun post!! It was fun to be reminded of things past and to read about your memories. I had to laugh that you were such a girly girl and now such an outdoor enthusiast--where dresses probably aren't your best attire.:-)
As for me, I loved baby dolls but I would line them up and teach them primary lessons. I never liked Barbies, but I have a daughter who told me she wants to have lots of daughters just so she will have someone to play Barbies with. :-)

Really you can have it!
I remember twin dresses and a pretend poodle on a leash. I think you should show a picture of that one!
Thanks Mean Joe!

Isn't it surprising what brings back memories.
I don't remember Mean Joe Green...but man do I still love playing Barbies with my girls!
