16. For us, it was:
"Price is Right"
various cartoons
"Gong Show"
"Wheel Of Fortune"
RC Cola
Hydrox cookies and half-stale Oreos.
Product 19 cereal.
Refrigerated Peanut Butter.
Killer fudge cookies by Keebler.
All of the moms and aunts drank near-white coffee that I had to get away from because it was nasty.
Spaghetti from the Old World
In later years, I'd bring the Atari 2600 and have to place it on the black and white TV with the non-coax hookup
Her record player with all of these old 45s, Al Martino and K-Tel albums that my mom and aunts left behind.
This bed we jumped on until it was lumpy.
A vegetable garden, dilapidated brick fire pit, a ton of trees to climb and a grape vine when it was in season.
Gravel driveway.
Basement filled with tricycles and chairs. A work shop with strange tools. Washing machines from the 50s. A shower that I was scared of. An old ping pong table.
An old big Garage that housed a Nova and a bunch of coffee cans full of old bolts and automotive accessories.
Photo albums and old TV guides from the 70s.
An upstairs with a giant crawlspace that housed tons of old magazines.

Takes me back, I tells ya. I need to pay it a visit.
