Happy Birthday BJ.
I loved going to the five and dime. I was born in 1953 and Woolworth, Kresgees, and Ben Franklin were the place to be. The lunch counter at Woolworth's and their spinning stools was a fav. Loved them!
I remember waiting eagerly to get heavy enough (what was I thinking???) to make the wood floors creak when I walked, just like my Dad. When I was very little my Dad was an assistant manager at Ben Franklin's. We always got the left over Bunnies at Easter, and the Christmas candy at Christmas. Dad always brought them home from work. Thanks for reminding me of a great memory!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wow! The world celebrates your birthday. How cool is that! Loved all of those pictures, and you were a darling baby. laurie
