Ah! Another busy, frolicsome day on tap with a garden hose! No frills required! The water games and pitchers of sugared Kool-Aid were endless. It did not take much to keep a heyday kid busy and happy. Remember your heyday of growing up in your hometown? The 1960s was a time of hamburgers, french fries, Five and Dime stores, the first kiss, record hops, mood rings, lightnin' bugs, wax lips, foot-long Coney Dogs with slaw, John, Paul, George, and Ringo and soda fountains. Life seemed at its best! Whether you refer to the era as "the good old days" or "back in the day," everyone has or will have a heyday! Many of the memories are such a part of us that people still talking about them 50+ years later! The heyday is more about feelings and emotions than an actual place. It was a land where childhood fueled the imagination and blossoming teen years took on a life of its own with unique social behaviors and norms. Grandma may have worn go-go boots, bright blue eye shadow, no bra and a mini-skirt clear up to her…, well, never mind! Or Grandpa could have been a bad boy on a motorcycle! This book can take a young reader to the brink of culture shock! After a cross-country road trip from Seattle, Washington to Muncie, Indiana, what does it feel like to go "home" after decades? Are there ways you can help create a heyday for the children and grandchildren you love, starting today? Wherever your heyday occurred, get ready to laugh, remember the groovy days, and embrace some serious reminiscing. From music to old fashioned Christmas celebrations through child eyes of wonder, to celebrity interviews and some way-back recipes, hang on for the ride! Be prepared for some "I forgot about that" moments!
