I actually grew up in Arkansas. But, I think that's one of the neat things about "the olden days." Most downtown areas and main streets seemed to be the same. We were living Americana, Norman Rockwell style! Thanks, Cindy, for your kind words. I actually grew up in Arkansas.

Great job!! Did you grow up in Denton because some of those memories sound familiar to me, too! Are you talking about the old First State Bank building downtown? And the old post office seemed SO huge to me when I was little as well. And the soda fountain? I remember being little bitty and my mother and father taking me there. I think it was downtown? But, I also remember one where the upstairs part of the building was the soda fountain and the downstairs was the five and dime. Was this the same place? Gosh, that brings back old memories. I lived in Denton for 30 years before my husband and I moved. I miss Denton. Cheryl,

I appreciate it. Yes, we really did have a Camaro, Karen. You should have seen me drive it. I sat loooooow. It did not have power steering which was a grave problem for a 98-pound weakling. Lara, it WAS a big deal when Princess Diana died. My husband woke me up to tell me, and I stayed up most of the rest of the night waiting for some word of her condition. I was a huge fan of Diana! Thanks to all of you for reading my verbose memories! Thanks, Tea Mouse, for the “Love Link”! I appreciate it. Yes, we really did have a Camaro, Karen. You should have seen me drive it.
