My camera, an Instamatic, was older than hers and used bulbs instead of flashcubes. I never found licking the bulbs to be of any benefit, but she swore by it with the cubes. And thanks for the memory of the test pattern. And that sound that accompanied it was so annoying. It was pure hell for night owls hunting for something to watch. Finally with the introduction of UHF channels there was always something on, no matter how bad it might have been.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-54451933128758447992017-07-22T21:42:43.001-07:002017-07-22T21:42:43.001-07:00I love the photo of your mother and aunt in the wa...I love the photo of your mother and aunt in the water together.

You're right about the "mother's in-law's tongue" plant. We have one that must be nearly 50 years old at least. The Quebecois soap opera was fun, especially when I turned on YouTube's English translation which made it ridiculously laughable!Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-1348287951361659312017-07-22T08:34:48.932-07:002017-07-22T08:34:48.932-07:00Quite a trip through the 50s there.Quite a trip through the 50s there.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-14019379028150393382017-07-21T21:35:57.740-07:002017-07-21T21:35:57.740-07:00Did you notice your cousin Brian is smoking a pipe...Did you notice your cousin Brian is smoking a pipe just as the father is on the prompt boat?
