I wonder if number 11 was actually 1974 not 1964…

Skateboards were in late 70s and 80s right?

Roger Booth

Should have done one of today’s for number nine about shopping when people go to the shops in their pjs

The 60s were my decade...what a great time...good music...good friends. The shopping picture made me laugh and the kids playing cowboys actually took me back to the 50s when I was that age. Thanks for the memories

I would never have considered doing grocery shopping with my hair in rollers.

Doris Dallaire

My kids had a rocking horse like that and loved it!

Irene Ramos-Lahbichi, I doubt it was a chaperone.

Tina Marie Haddad Rhodes, I agree, that bike looks more like an early 70's vintage, that's when I had one like it.

Russ Dobell

deborahpmercer, Oh no way, I had one when I was growing up in the mid to late 60's, most of the boys on our block did. Only difference was they were about half the size and weight of the big heavy monsters you see today.
