Everything in life, when you are young, leads up to your high year, high school prom, and graduation.

Sadly 10 years later, you actually get excited about your 10 year class reunion.  I was pregnant with my 3rd child on my 10th year class reunion, but it was a great time.  Lots can happen in 10 years.

I like to reminisce about the music, tv shows, and movies that were popular in my Senior year.

This week of October 1977, this is the top music, tv shows and movies.

This was probably the winter of 1976 or 1977

I think this is the first year I skied, not knowing how much I would be sitting on my butt  on the ski slope, I had only packed a couple of pairs of jeans, and they were soaking wet.  I was freezing to death that whole trip.

Still the good old days and good memories.

Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific, was the shampoo that left your hair smelling terrific.  With a soft young breezy fresh fragrance like meadows of wildflowers in spring.  But that isn’t all “Gee” made hair feel super clean.  It left your hair soft, silky and very shiny.  Shampoo and the same fragrance conditioner were a big hit in the 1970’s.  This product was originally manufactured by Jergens.  Gee was still available into the 1980’s, but in the early to mid 80’s Jergens stopped making “Gee”, so it is no longer available.  Some have said you can find it on the internet.  I have seen listings on Ebay, and The Vermont Country Store.  I am not sure if these are the original products or formulas.  If I had known that they were going to quit manufacturing the product, I might have bought it by the case loads.
