    Great thread, whoever started it, fun to look back :bigsmile:

    Oh yes, pick up stix and Monopoly. My mom used to always cheat to get Boardwalk and Park place. :laugh: There were six of us kids and we each had our favorite piece. Mom's was the thimble, mine was the shoe, I think Mellie Bellie's was the dog. Can't remember what the other's always used. What fun memories. I remember playing with Lincoln logs too.

    Of my own things my bike, soft ball equipment, sled, the dog. I was out doors a lot. Trival Pursuit was my favorite board game.

    I grew up in southern Louisiana so I'd have to say a pellet gun and a fishing rod. Oh, and I can't forget my baseball glove. I was a huge tom boy....until I wasn't.

    I had a little dog that I slept with every night - took him to college with me and still have him - his name is Sally (I was a little confused...)
    I also had a blankie and yes... still have it... sadly, it went to college with me too.

    I loved dolls of all kinds but mostly my cabbage patch kids and koosa dolls.
    I liked Lite Brite
    Crayons and coloring books - especially Barbie coloring books - her hair was so much fun to color - I was an expert at highlights!
    slip and slide
    sit and spin
    my record player
    roller skates
    paddle ball
    jump rope
    dress up clothes... I liked to dress up as a "mommy" - which in my house meant a skirt suit (with shoulder pads) and heels. LOL!

    Yes, I do- I had one when I was a kid and I found one at a yard sale the other day for a dollar- brought it home to show my kids and promptly busted my @ss on it.:laugh:
