Bring Back The 60's!!!

I have decided to sell my humble abode and move up to a multi dwelling. Yup! It's time to expand beyond the horizon. Get rid of my $350 mortg, and take on something in the $$$$$$.

I'm kind of excited about the prospect of a new home. But I'm kind of sad that I'm leaving my sunny little hole in the wall. I've made it very comfy and affordable. But I need more space. I've decided to pursue my painting, and I have no room for an easel and canvas. I want to be able to sit outside. I want to be able to sand and paint furniture. I need another bedroom for my office. I NEED MORE SPACE! And it's going to cost more! Ugh!

I remember when my family moved to CA, in the 60's. We got a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home, with a landscaped front yard, fireplace, formal dining room, double car garage, in a brand new neighborhood for $19,500. Nineteen thousand, five hundred smackers. Those were the days! It also took Dad 20 minutes to drive into L.A., to work. By the time we moved away, it was taking Dad, 75 minutes to drive into work. The time had come to move away. Dad was the sole wage earner, Mom could stay home and raise us, do the errands, take us to riding lessons, art lessons, be there for us. We didn't need Mom to go off to work everyday.

Sometimes, I wish we could turn time back. It seems that the 60's were some of the best times our nation had. The Beatles and Beach Boys were fighting for air time, McDonalds was a new restaurant concept, Disneyland had free parking, Kennedy was in office, Alfred Hitchcock was the big director, Knotts Berry Farm was free, Jayne Mansfield was the blonde bombshell, convertibles were in, Fresca was the diet drink, and Mountain Dew was the new soda. Go-go boots were in, mini dresses were in, Ed Sullivan was the Sunday night show. A Clockwork Orange was the most talked about movie, Homosexuality was not a threat to society, and there was no such thing as AIDS.

I say, bring back the 60's, and get rid of the Bush's!
Bring back macaroni and cheese, and coke in bottles.
Bring back 50 cent movies, and clean cops.
And let's make Beef our state bird!!!!
