So cool. :)<BR/><BR/>Lol @ plastic-covered furniture or car seats ripping the skin off of your legs! I totally remember that during my childhood, only with leather upholstery in cars. That was nearly as painful. <BR/><BR/>GaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-31169252853732812392008-08-27T22:11:00.000-06:002008-08-27T22:11:00.000-06:00Thanks Neen.

My grandparents had that in their car, of all places. Talk about hot & sticky living in SoCA! It would rip the skin off your legs when you got out in the summer. And you know, now that you mentioned it, there were NOT many little kids at the Elvis concerts. I'm sure that would be different today.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-90559201566310144212008-08-27T21:20:00.000-06:002008-08-27T21:20:00.000-06:00Oh wow Rena, what great memories!

How funny - that kitten that you're holding looks just like one that I had as a kid. Somewhere I have a picture of me and my brother sitting on our new white, plastic covered couch (lol my mom used to cover it with plastic so it wouldn't get dirty). I was holding a stuffed kitten exactly like that! If I can find the picture I'll email it to you.<BR/><BR/>Interesting about Elvis giving away rings and kisses. Thanks for sharing your story with us :)<BR/><BR/>JeannineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-9738854759227825352008-08-27T14:14:00.000-06:002008-08-27T14:14:00.000-06:00LOL Adrienne -- no kidding!

Suddenly, the theme to The Brady Bunch is drifting through my mind ... ;)Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-84116058910723000232008-08-27T13:49:00.000-06:002008-08-27T13:49:00.000-06:00Cute picture!

What was up with the '70's and all those brown and orange prints?<BR/><BR/>I was never a big Elvis fan while growing up, but now I wish I'd had the chance to see him in concert.

It's also neat that your BIL's father was in the Army with him. I have great memories of these concerts. Not just because of Elvis, but also because they were something special my mom & I did together.

I think I once told you I can only claim to have been to an Elvis concert while my mom was pregnant with me. My BIL's father was in the army with him in Germany.<BR/>So cool about him giving rings away to women in the audience. I think he was a really generous man. I remember reading how he would give cadillacs away.<BR/>ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
