  1. I remember every Friday night my cosines and aunt and uncle would come on over.

    Us six kids would watch the Love Boat and Fantasy Island downstairs in our semi-finished basement.

    We would get a bag of potato chips in a bowl. If were were over there house we would get onion dip with it and sometimes my Aunt Paula would toast up some bagels in the oven.

    Most of the time they came over our house. Sometimes they would sleep over.

    I seem to recall watching The Carol Burnett Show too. Maybe that’s what we watched before 1977? I do recall that was on very late.

    The adults played cards upstairs in the kitchen.

    Those were the days before the feud. I haven’t seen them in over 20 years.
