Penny on the Shoe.
If you were a child of the, ahem, 1960's or earlier, you may remember the oh, so exciting, "penny on the shoe" game. You know... that difficult game of trying to balance a penny on your shoe while walking?
I finely figured out how to share tidbits of my old home movies online. Here are my 6th and 7th birthday parties. Pretty much the same girls, sporting some new mary janes each year. AND, the same "penny on the shoe" year after year! Perhaps my friends were just too kind to express their boredom.
Those were such simpler times, weren't they? I do wish we had some of the fabulous current decor available to us back then...well, at least we weren't playing with our cell phones, right?
Do you have any special memories of your childhood birthday parties?

You look very mach like your mom, though...and your grandpa (?) with the cake -it's moving; he was so careful.
Love the patent-leather mary janes.
And Creaky...thanks for the sweet compliment about Mom and Grandpa!!
NEVER heard of 'penny on the shoe' but I was in the DC area--we played 'musical chairs.' Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting!
