Fun to Remember Carol........
This has been around before, but I
like the pictures that go with it this time around........
A bit of nostalgia for the over 60 crowd . . . . . A history lesson for the youngsters! The perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care. How many of these do you remember? |

"twice as much for a nickel, too, Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you!"

Thank you, Chris!
A dedication to our Wizard of

Moments to Remember
January to
December, we'll have moments to remember
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
SPOKEN:
The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember
REPEAT LAST TWO VERSES
