1970's Remembering the good Ole days

Growing up in Houston Texas was such a great time to be a kid in the 1970's.. Bell bottom jeans, hanging out with my friends listening to vinyl records of Kiss.. ZZ Top, Aerosmith... Tv was simple and more entertaining, no cell phones or internet.. We actually played outside until it was time to come in for supper.. Roller skating... playing baseball in the neighbors yard.. cigarettes cost 65 cents a pack... A 16 Oz bottle of coke cost 35 cents in 1972.. a candy bar 11 cents.. I remember in 1973 my father bought my mother a brand new Chevrolet Impala that cost 4,000.00 dollars at AJ.Foyt Chevrolet and my brother and I even got to sit in one of his Indy 500 race cars in the dealership lobby.. A cheeseburger actually was bigger than the palm of your hand back then... If you wanted a drink of water you drank from the front yard water hose.. It was good time
