I signed up for Netflix yesterday and saw that I could get the Wonder Woman series. You don't know the flood of memories that brought back for me. I remember the show coming on at 6:00 every week. I am a slow eater but by 6:00 on Wonder Woman night I had dinner eaten, the table cleaned, floor swept and dishes done. I had Wonder Woman stuff like you wouldn't believe. Books, mirrors, posters, etc. So all this reminded me of my Mom and what she did for me. She bought me Wonder Woman underoos and then out of cardboard and aluminum foil she made me bracelets and a head thingy. She would cover the cardboard with the foil and we'd tape them around my wrists and put the headband on. I would go to the garage and get some rope for my truth lasso. Then get on my Big Wheel and pretend that was my invisible plane and the cat was the bad guy. I'd jump from the Big Wheel and chase the cat around and then lasso the poor thing. Huh, maybe that's why she ran away :-) Ahh the good ol' days. THANKS MOM!!!

Cute, Beth! I remember having a conversation one day at work about underoos and I had no clue what they were and ya'll thought I was crazy! But, I remember you telling me all about Wonder Woman, so this story made me smile.
Are you stoked to have internet? It is nice to have at home. Sorry I haven't emailed this week, it was so busy! This next week you can for sure expect a few! Have a great weekend!

I laugh everytime you tell that story. If you could only see what I see!
Your comments about Wonder Woman made me laugh. My youngest sister just loved Wonder Woman also. It brings back fond memories. Karen
You're killing me, Beth! Hahaha! Of course, I am deeply saddened that we have no Kodak momentos. ;) I was dying laughing at the birds flying around your house, too! How hysterical!
