Relive Your Childhood :)

[HeIsRisen2018]

This is for all you adults out there. Have you ever wished that you could go back in time to being a kid again? Well now you can...sort of. As I was watching videos that I found on YouTube last night from shows that I used to love as a kid I thought that this would be the perfect idea for a topic. So go ahead reminisce. Share stories, post videos of your favorite childhood songs and sing along with them, and remember all of your favorite childhood shows right here! I will start with a few of mine.


This first video goes way back for me. It might be Sesame Street but if you really listen to the words it's talking about how we all have a home to go to and although there are a lot of things that we would like to see and do in this life we don't want anything to be permanent since we long to be home with our family and friends which is exactly how I feel about Heaven. The happy tears that came out of my eyes while watching this again.

And here are a couple of theme songs to shows that I absolutely used to love as a kid. Only nineties babies can really appreciate them.

(I posted the goodbye song to this last night knowing that this website was going to get upgraded today but not knowing for exactly how long it would be down)

And here is just another song for Sesame Street, because let's face it, who doesn't love Cookie Monster? I don't think that you could ever be too old for him. :biggrin

Parts of my childhood were good memories and other parts are very devastating to ever want to relive them, but made me who I am today. I'm a baby-boomer so we mostly played outside from the time we got up until it got dark so really did not watch a whole lot of TV. The shows we did watch were family oriented shows like Leave it to Beaver, Ozzie & Harriet, I Love Lucy, Danny Thomas, Father Knows Best etc. etc. and wish that I was part of their families. We also had Romper Room and Mister Rodgers Neighborhood. Oh, and how can I forget Howdy Doody and Clara Bell, Lone Ranger and Gunsmoke.

I have seen Leave it to Beaver before, and I have mentioned this before but I just LOVE Mister Rogers Neighborhood! I started a thread about him in Popular Culture you know. Fred was an ordained minister and he loved the Lord an awful lot. I bet that he is (or will be) in Heaven withe Jesus welcoming other people there requesting them to be his neighbor. And I sincerely hope that he will do the same for me someday. I also was a fan of The Little Rascals as well.

Playing outside is to dangerous You DID NOT have a helmet... you may have fallen out of a tree... the baseball may hurt your hand... sliding down the hill on cardboard so scary... the 2by4 'skate boards

Remember the sore thumb until ya learned how to properly shoot a marble? Playing holes and pots... or worse yet stretch with a pocket knife

If you are being serious I used to play outside all the time when I was little and I loved it! But if you're being sarcastic that's hilarious! Sorry, I think it's the latter but it's really hard to tell online.

Here's some other songs that I just remembered from my childhood. :wink

Hugh Beaumont, the actor who played Wally and Beaver's father -- was a Methodist minister!
I just found that out.

We had Popeye cartoons after school in the afternoon...

we piled up cottonwood leaves in huge piles in front of the swingset
jumped out of the swing into the pile of leaves

Here are a few more songs that I dug up. I also recently went through my childhood memory box and I found a piece of my baby blanket along with my old pacifiers that I liked to refer as my "Pacis." Yeah, I was a pacifier baby for sure which just gave me an idea for another topic as soon as I'm finished posting these.

And since Mister Rogers was already discussed here is his award winning speech and tribute to him by the cast of Sesame Street.

R.I.P Fred Rogers. You've gone to a new neighborhood now where Jesus is in charge. I will always love you and miss you. Thanks for all of the memories and making my childhood special. I can't wait for the chance to be your neighbor again someday.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Also, did any other nineties babies see this show when you were growing up?

Yeah I can put jaci into the public zip lines at jaycee abd humiston beach,she can crawl under,into the old b2 banshee jet.she could play in the woods miles away ,build forts .

Oh wait that's my childhood. None of that is "safe" now

You know as I was just lying here in bed, all of a sudden I started thinking about The Lion King action figures I had as a child. I used to take them everywhere with me lol. I also loved pretending I was a lion myself and that I was a witch attending Howarth School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Besides that I loved all my Barbies and baby dolls. Yeah, I might enjoy my adult life, but sometimes I just wish that I could revisit my childhood for a day since I just love the magical land of pretend.

Tom Hanks is going to be Fred Rogers in a movie. I think coming in 2019

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Yeah, I already know. That sounds like it's going to be interesting. Although as I mentioned befor, there is never going to be another Fred Rogers.

I’m still looking for ways to travel back to the time period between 1989-1998. I woukd stay there and relive that time over and over because it was the only good time in my life, it all went down hill after 16

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Has anybody ever seen this before? I still love this show! (And its predecessor)

Ahh, Gunsmoke. I remember. I remember The Rifleman too. I still like that and many of these older shows is what I like to watch instead of modern tv and all of it's garbage. The Rifleman spoke of God quite often in that show, and following "what the good book says". I think ol' Lucas McCain was raising up his son, Mark to be a good man, fictional as it were...

I liked the Little Rascals too, but word has it that Alfalfa was little brat and was hard to work with on the set. He was always pulling practical jokes on the other cast members and it annoyed them all.

Mr Rogers was ok. I think Tom Hanks will make a good Mr. Rogers.

 

[Bull of the Woods]

I go back to Captain Kangaroo. And Pow Wow the Indian Boy which would be totally politically incorrect today.
Felix the Cat.

Yeah, I think he will too. But as I said before there will ever only truly be on Fred Rogers and he is in Heaven now. There will never be another person like him. We truly lost a legendary hero when he passed away.
