I remember parts of the party (time and "Party favors" blur my memories somewhat)and a good time was had by all. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your memories, Sugar and Edith.

You're right, there wasn't much room, but we took many a vacation trip in that car. I guess a kid doesn't need much room, and her little clothes don't take much either. That poor Pinto finally got totaled in a wreck my Aunt had after we passed it to her. But it didn't explode, thank goodness. And I think that was around 1982, 1983.<br /><br />Have a safe and fun July 4th, Edith Ann!Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130276836696015673.post-48848889162231126192010-07-04T07:27:53.879-05:002010-07-04T07:27:53.879-05:00I love this!

Red, white and blue, inside and out! I loved that car. Looking back now, I cannot imagine you all making that trip to California in a Pinto. You must have never changed clothes! There was not much room for luggage. <br /><br />I was out of high school by 1976, but I certainly remember the mood, if you will, and how nice that was. <br /><br />Thanks for another delightful read.Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.com
