THE 80's!
Yep - a box full of coins, gummy bracelets, magazines, coke cans, pictures, letters and movie stubs from the late 80's. Honestly, I don't remember being such a girly-girly! Truth is I only have vague memories of making this time-capsule. But this letter proves it was me.
What struck me head-on was the fact that the 80's are BACK with a vengence.
Seriously it's back. I just bought my daughter's black and white checkered button down shirts with leggings and a pink and black checkered scarf - and they are eager to get their hands on some high-tops.
1987 - high tops, big sweater and leggings. What cracks me up is my little side-note "my dad hated it" on the leggings and sweater!
1989 - check out the scarf I wore ... I kind of wish I still had it.
The last few months have also brought remakes or replays of some great 80's music. The girls are shocked when I sing along with all the words. "How do you know THAT song mom?" I love it! Little do they know that there was pop music before 2009.
Here's what we're listening to around our house these days:
Miley Cyrus - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Pure NRG - Footloose
U Can't Touch This (not sure who's singing it)
Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way (played on one of the TVO shows)
I kind of doubt Glass Tiger will make a come back. But I did hear that they were playing at the Sarnia Canada Day festival. And Kirk Cameron - he's making a come back in Christian film - no further comments necessary.
I was so glad to find my little box of 1980's treasures.
I am so glad to see my kids enjoying the style and sounds of the 80's.
Long Live the 80's!

Wow! thats hilarious robin!!
I cannot believe you did this time capsule way back when and how neat is that that everything ties in with now... I love it!
Len and I saw a pair of red converse the other day and he picked them up and said "hey honey you were wearing a pair just like this when we met..lets get you a pair"
To which I thought he was serious until he started laughing and stated he could never picture me wearing them now...especially with the bright yellow slouchy socks I used to pair them with!
Just the way I remember you, Robin!
Why doesn't it surprise me that you made a time capsule? lol
We haven't changed much, have we? *ahem*
Great post! Thanks for the memories!
This is a riot, Robin! And to think one of the first times I hung out with you and George was at that CCO conference and the first night was an 80's dance. Totally gnarly memories, man.
