Fun Monday is being hosted by Molly of Return of the
White Robin. She wants us to share a happy memory
of our childhood.
One of my favorite childhood memories was shopping with
my mother in a nearby town. It was a wonderful way to
spend a day. We'd shop and get ice cream at a drugstore
soda shop with the old fashioned counter. Here is a link
to the post with pictures.

Thanks for the reminder of a great childhood memory for me as well--going "to town" with my mother, shopping, and getting a shake in the drugstore.
Yes, those drug-store soda fountains do have wonderful memories. I wonder where they went...replaced by Mickey D's I guess
I used to love seeing those old fashioned drug store counters in movies we didn't have them here. I didn't ever get to shop much with my mother because my parents owned a shop that she ran from when I was 8-16. I do recall taking a bus to town (20 miles away), occasionally, during the holidays on a Weds which was her half day! I'd forgotten this until you jogged my memory!
We would always 'go to town' - I think it was a leftover saying from my Mother's youth because we lived in town!
We, too, would go to town and sometimes - we would go to the "big" town...lol.
Mothers are so important to our past. Sometimes, we might have even known that as we passed that time and space in our lives.
you were a cute little girl and that is a wonderful memorie!!
I love your picture! What a great memory! Ice cream always tastes sweeter when you are having it with someone else.
I'm with Chrisb. I used to love seeing them in films, but we didn't have them here. Lovely memories.
Loved your Fun Monday post. I didn't shop much with my Mom because we lived way out in the country and only had one car most of my childhood. I do remember the first clothing item I bought with my own money. I was in the
7th grade and I hid it for a week because it cost $5.00 (hideous amount) and had no ruffles on it- so I knew my Mom wouldn't like it. I still remember exactly the colors and design of it.
Have a great week.
Judy
look how cute you are!!!!!!!
Oh you were/are such a cutie. Nothing like a dime store soda.
you haven't changed -- except for the teeth
I had an awesome time "making memories" with my Grands this weekend!
We even had ice cream *wink*
Have an awesome day!☺
