NERF ANYTHING - I had a gun that shot Nerf balls!! I still have mine, and so does my best friend. We shoot balls at the tv when somebody we don't like wins an Oscar, or a non-favorite athlete wins an Olympic medal.

LEMON TWISTS- a plastic rope with a plastic lenon on the end. You put the loop around your ankle and whirled the thing, jumping over the lemon when it circled around. It was great exercise

SLIP N'SLIDE!! A long yellow runway you belly-surfed. SO many hot days were so much fun thanks to those.

DUNCAN YO-YOs - they've been around forever, but become a rage every now and then. In '76 EVERYBODY wanted one. We had how-long-can-you..... contests. I had the neighborhood record, 4 hours straight.

KITES - don't see them much anymore

SILLY PUTTY - always got one in my stocking

THE BARBIE COUNTRY CAMPER - a Winnebago for Barbie and her friends. It came with sleeping bags and camping gear. I wanted one SO bad, but mom said I'd scratch the hardwood floor. I actually prayed that I would get one for Christmas.....but it wasn't under the tree with my other stuff from Santa. I was so disappointed. BUT! I had a wonderful fairy godmother and godfather in my Aunt Jane and Uncle Leland. I shrieked with joy when I ripped the wrapping paper off their gift. Aunt Jane had the biggest smile on her face. She and Uncle are gone now, and I can't remember what happened to the Country Camper, but I've never forgotten that Christmas.
