Growing up isnt what it used to be, is it? These are some MEMORIES from a friend who is about my age: My Dad is cleaning out my grandmothers house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to sprinkle clothes with because we didnt have steam irons. Man, I am old. How many do you remember?
