Friday Photo Flashback ~ 1968


Friday Photo Flashback
I recently was tagged in a photo on Facebook.  That's something that has been so fun as I become reacquainted with friends from so long ago. 

I really love Facebook! 


Pictured left to right is Linda, me, Kathy, Donna, Chris and Christine 

The Lindenhurst High School Twirlers

We were marching in a parade.  Parades were always a big deal growing up in Lindenhurst, New York.  That's on the south side of Long Island in Suffolk County.  Most of the town turned out to celebrate each holiday.

Notice the pizzeria in the background offering 25 cent slices.  A friend also pointed out the telephone number.  That's how it used to be.  We'd call TU 4-6540.  After that prompt, I actually remembered my phone number from that time.

The American flag and the older model cars are seen in the background if you look carefully.

You can hop over to Alicia's blog More Than Words to link up and add your pre-digital photos for Friday Photo Flashback.

Blessings and love,

  13. What a cool picture! What a nice thing to do on Fridays! I think I just might have to join you instead of listing my failures :-)

    I remember the phone numbers being like that and a lot of other things from that simpler era.

    I wish I could take my kids back there, even for just a day to see me as a younger person and my life :-) That would be a trip! LOL!!

    Love you honey!

  14. Ah, 1968...I was a freshman in high school with the same type of hairstyle as yours. I love this flashback, Debbie! I had to smile when I read that this was the year a few other commenters were born - makes me feel like a grandma! And I am! LOL
    Love and blessings to you,
