I was forced to watch it when my grandparents babysat me. Looking through a tricolor foil scotchtaped over the black and white TV screen for that technicolor look .

My grandparents had 2 tvs. One sat on top of the other. One had sound and the other had a picture.

The day grandma's wood cook stove died. Grandpa drove his Pontiac to get her a new gas range. The food never tasted the same and her kitchen smelled like gas.

Slept in a huge bed at grandmas, no heat, but the feather pillows and handmade quits kept me plenty warm. Nescafe coffee made on top of the wood burning stove was part of the breakfast. those were the days.

That's funny my brother and i were talking about nescafe. I don't think we knew about caffine. And we weren't sure if it only came as "instant."

That's hilarious! I'm amazed how far tv's (as has most everything) have evolved in the last 10 years.

Sounds like you were at my grandma's home. I still have her quilts, very heavy.
