I've got a birthday coming up within a month that I'd like to forget! Every year around this time I'm reminded of the good ol' days...my memories are sketchy of childhood but pretty good from about 14-15 on up (although it's going again the older I get!). Anyway...writing about the Good Humor Truck on my blog the other day Ice Cream: Sneaky, Sneaky! started me in on memories again! And then this came in my e-mail...I couldn't resist sharing it with you all. I will post the answers as a comment later today. I'm sure there are some who can answer all...I got all but one or two. My husband, whose memory is better than mine, got them all correct!
