    My parents bought a Motorola deep freezer in 1946. When my mom passed away in 2010 and the house was sold, the freezer was unplugged for the first time in 64 years. It ran the entire time without any repairs.

    My dad passed away when I was 9 but before e did he made me a doll house and put the wall paper from each room (including the bathroom) in the corresponding doll house rooms. He also painted it olive green just like our house was. I still have it and cherish it so much.

    A child of the 60's and 70's, I witnessed most all of this firsthand. It was a magical time to be a kid; little did we know the end of it would arrive by the late 80's. I truly feel bad for kids from that time since; all kids should have the chance to grow up when we did, with innocence and wonder allowed us to just be kids. - Ed on the Ridge

    Wall phones with a "mile" long cord for privacy was the way to go. Especially for teenagers.

    Born in 1960 I loved the freedom of growing up in a time where kids could play outside all day and just come in for meals. A different time indeed.

    I grew up in the 60s in Appalachia. Our home was built in the 1800s and was heated by a coal furnace. I can still walk the home and yard in my mind. A magical time to be a kid.

    I own a 1940s bungalow 1100 sq ft. with 2 bedrooms. I love my home. Just the correct size for us two retired folks.

    I was born in 1951..little young for the 50’s remembering..but the 60’s..oh yea, this is it..spot on! In 1956 my parents bought a brand new split level home for $12,500, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, one car garage on a cul de sac..what a neighborhood!! They lived there and gave us a great childhood for 30 years, retired, moved to Florida then back to Connecticut where most of our family lived, played, worked and..died..Omg were we blessed..Thank you..God Bless..😊

    Born in 1957. The 60's and 70's were the best. Now if I only had a time machine.....

    Seems to me that people did a lot more entertaining in the 60s than they do now. Thank you Recollection Road for another wonderful trip down memory lane.

    born in 69, so missed the 60's, but they trickled over enough into the 70's i remember much of it. life was great then.
  • @KbB-kz9qp
    Thanks. I also recall “pole lamps” that were in a corner of a room, with spring loaded pole that was wedged between floor and ceiling. They usually had three or four adjustable lights with cone shaped shades. They still seem like a neat idea. 😀
  • @joeheid2776
    Many of this slid in to the 70's. Love the memories.

    I was a child of the 60's. Love those decades. Life was simpler, food was way cheaper and healthier. People rather lived life. Family life was healthier too.

    I was born in 1962 and I grew up in a home like these. We had a Turquoise stove (gas) and my parents had bedroom furniture that was very square. We had a black and white tv but we did not have a console. Also the neighborhood I grew up in (North Hollywood) was very clean and neat. Everyone took care of their yards, including my Dad. He took great pride in doing yard work to make our house look good.
  • @AlBundyPolkHigh.
    My mom still has a lot of that stuff. My grandmother still had plastic on her furniture even in the 80s😂
  • The 1960's was an interesting era & definitely fun to grow up in!!! Thanks for the memories!!! 👍👍🙂
