{only one of the best shows EVAH!}

Who's with me?  Any children of the 80's out there?  

Also, I have yet to find someone who remembers this:  Does anyone recall a show {we watched it at school}  where a guy would read books and draw the scenes in colored pencil or pastels?  I absolutely loved it, and no one else seems to remember it!  Anyone?***mystery solved!***

    I'm pretty sure I had a cabbage patch doll but I can't remember what she looked like. Barrettes never stuck in my hair. Too thick and curly. And lastly.. I had no clue LeVar Burton was not blind. I also thought he was really blind because of Star Trek.

    Ok, so I went to school with you and I don't remember that show either. I remember watching the letter people, the crazy guy with the inside out spandex suit with all his bones and organs printed on it.

    Good Morning, Jen,
    Oh, I guess this makes me just about old enough to be your mom! Our girls are 26 and 22 and we had several cabbage patch babies around our house.

    I also loved the reading rainbow...Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful holiday weekend. ~Natalie

    I remember all those. Wasn't a big fan of the cabbage patch kids - I was more into toy horses, but we did have a couple around. I had the poodle barrette in red, and while I loved Reading Rainbow, shortly after I started watching it, they moved it to the 3:00 time slot, and I didn't get off the bus until 3:20. Sad day! I vividly remember the episode about paper cranes. I could spell out the whole plot of the book they read on that episode for you, but I won't. :)
