Winter Thank you for this post. I am going to snag your idea as a journal prompt for me to use when I am stressing out.

Most of the things mentioned are on my list so I won't repeat them.

The first that popped to my mind is the screech noise when the test pattern came TV when programming ended for the day.
Being able to play outside after dark.
Getting chunks of ice from the block in the milk man's truck
Hitching a ride up the hill behind the snow plow.
The Jewel Tea Man visits at Grandma's
An operator saying "central" before connecting to your party.
Real Garbage trucks driving down the alley and the garbage bucket hanging on the pole to keep animals out.
Burning trash in back yard incinerator
Roller skates with skate keys
