LOVE THIS! I remember saving them...and remember when you would get a big one, and it would only have to go on the bottom of the page? And that would count for the whole page? ...I think we need to start a movement to bring these back.
A lot of this I do remember but not the S&H stamps ... I had heard of them, seen pix of them but never collected them, I guess Mom didnt shop at places that gave them out.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Could you imagine a time where no one would recognize what a skate key was, ha! The metal ice cube trays, ugh, they were always a battle. Ha.
I froze my hand to one of those ice trays once...and I can STILL point out where the S&H Stamp redemption center use to be. We still have an A&W place too.

As all of us in the Southeast are doing, we are constantly checking weather forecast. Some local channels, and you know who you are WSB , are already in that manic mode. All of their meteorologists have a dazed look in their eyes. They are giddy with anticipation of a big snow event. And let me just clarify myself as to what constitutes a "big snow event" in Atlanta. First, just the forecast of snow makes everyone nutso. Store shelves are emptied of bread, makings for chili, brownie mix and milk. If we actually do get snow, and I must say that we will get flurries once a winter, all TV is interrupted for "black ice" warnings Yes, we are a bit crazy! Secondly, if there is an inch of snow, than the weather channels declare "Snow Jam 2010"! Nothing else in the world is news worthy as Snow Jam 2010 becomes our only news event. Since living here in Georgia, we once received 7 inches of snow. Trucks could not come into replenish the store shelves. Sch...
I tried to stay away. Really, I did. But I love to change things up a bit. I’ve fallen back into my Cutest Blog on the Block hole. Just because I can, here’s a photo of Niagara Falls. Can you hear the thunderous one million gallons per second falling below? Just know that you have been warned!!!
