MY #tbt continued wkly...
Summer nights sitting around the picnic table in our backyard, eating the BBQ dinner, jumping in the pool & sprinkler. Dad rigged the TV set outside so we could fall asleep watching under the stars on the patio. Sometimes a coat hanger was the antenna. Sometimes we woke up with a zillion mosquito bites. There were no cell phones, you answered a phone with a cord that extended a few feet if you were lucky, limited privacy, but there was a voice - almost tangible person; there was no texting, no internet, just people with real connections, making real experiences. Roasted marshmallows, chlorine hair, daisy dukes, cassette in the tape recorder, golden retriever sharing my ice cream cone. (No portable 8-track, but in our car/house).
