And your photos of moments captured forever of days gone by...even though they what we would call rough times, they had a quality of togetherness that I think we overlook these days.

I have a Yoda puppet from Star Wars and there were sesame street puppets out when my kids were young. I remember when on weekends we did see Punch and Judy like shows.L.
