I especially remember when he would bring it home to watch Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella". That was a favorite. I remembere one year I missed the whole show because I was sitting at the dinner table refusing to eat my Tuna casserole (which was cold and which I still refuse to make OR eat!). Ah such great childhood memories. We also did the drive in movie thing both as a child with my mom and dad and as a parent with our children.

The drive in movies were so much fun for all of us. We should do that again when grandchildren get older. We do have a nice pickup to use (but we won't drive back and forth to the movie with you guys riding in the back of the truck). I also had a great time irrigating. It never seemed like to much of a chore, and you kids had such great fun. Renting the tv is what we did to keep children from coming downstairs after Santa had gone to bed. Sneaky, huh? Living without a tv was so hard for me as a mother - I couldn't plop you down in front of the tv to entertain you. Now, I am so glad we did it. Perhaps we still wouldn't have one if grandparents had not interfered with out decision and presented us with a used tv for Christmas in front of all of you. They didn't want you to go without--GRRR. It was a real sore spot for a few years and was so wrong for them to do. These lists are so interesting to me. The drive in movies were so much fun for all of us.

I hated it. Now I can appreciate it because I believe it was a large factor in me becoming such a book lover. At the time? I hated it.
