1964--Pratts Dept. store and Winnie Lee dress shop in Sulphur Springs. Lay-a-way plan, 5 new dresses, a package of socks, underwear (with ruffles) full slip, new shoes.
Full day of trying on everything and then not getting to take it home with us until the last week in August, before school started after Labor Day.
Mom and Granny Jennie taking me and Jackie Don shopping on a Saturday.
The smell of brand new Crayola Crayons and looking at that indian head on the "Big Chief Tablet" big ole fat pencils and loose leaf paper for the notebook with dividers.
Waiting on the school bus and Hoss Fly to pick us up and drop us off.
Chocolate ice cream with potato chips and Slam Bang Theater.
I loved being a kid!!!!
