Linda's Sweetest 60's

I started my life in the Show Me State. I was raised with an older brother and soon had a younger sister. We lived close to both sets of grandparents. A fond memory that I recall is that we would call our grandparents (right before payday) and place our orders, usually for ice cream and donuts. They always delivered. My mom died unexpectedly during my early years. Our family later grew to include a new mother, two additional brothers and a sister.

Some interesting facts of the 50’s and 60’s…

~ Television had just been invented (most people listened to stories on the radio).

~ TV went off each night at midnight (the screen showed a bull’s eye and Indian).

~ Stamps were 3 cents.

~ A nickel would buy a bag full of candy.

~ As a teenager gas was 29 cents a gallon.

~ A Ford Mustang cost $1800.00

~ Believe it or not cell phones, microwaves and personal computers did not exist.

In college I met the love of my life, Rick as he was called. Love led to marriage and marriage led to three beautiful daughters, which led to three son-in-laws and four and ½ grandchildren.

I often think in song, so…

“When I look back over my life and I think things all over I can truly say that I’ve been blessed, I’ve got a testimony.”

Wow! 60 years of life.
