Who remembers the play group on television say back in the late sixties? There was a show called 'Romper Room' and the 'teacher' that I had at that time was Miss Sally. There was a big bee that liked to help the kids in the 'classroom' as well. There was a round table where the teacher and children would sit and make a craft after Miss Sally would show them how. She would also read a picture book to them and us at home. There were even movement games like walking on if I remember right were called Romper Stompers where the child would place their feet on plastic upside cups attached to ropes and pull up so they will walk or march wherever. Miss Sally had a magic mirror of sorts where she would 'see' all the children at home and sing a song. There is a little song she sang and the only words I remember is something like 'romper stomper boo'.

Eight is Enough
Here is another old television show that I watched in the late seventies and early eighties. It is entitled 'Eight is Enough' that is all about a family of eight children and the ups and downs of living at the time in history of inflation, the Gas Crisis, and various other personal and professional issues that affected us all at this time. The program starred Dick van Patten and Diana Hyland then Betty Buckley and a cast of characters of the children from Grant Goodeve, Willie Ammes, Adam Rich and others. To me this was an updated version of 'The Waltons' where the children all had a particular talent from writing, medicine, business, the arts, etc. I guess that was to be expected for 'Eight is Enough' was produced by the same company as 'The Waltons' for even Will Geer who played Grandpa on 'The Walton's played a character on 'Eight is Enough'. Watching these old or somewhat old and maybe outdated shows are still fun to watch and remember what you were doing at that time in history. By the way I have the Roku channel that allows me to watch some of my old favorite television shows from a bygone era.

Falling … falling from a great height is the first memory I have. Followed by waking up to see my chest burst open on a rock, the rough stone covered in strange ancient markings. My legs shattered and limp, and blood gushed all around me. I looked up and saw a face high above, I don’t remember who it was. Just the smile as they looked down on me.
