First car date at 16, NewYears Eve with My friend Jeannie, her boyfriend and Kevin. First time to drive a car was my good friend jeannies big green dinosaur. Loved that car, you could fit 8to 10 people in it easily not to mention all the partying we did in it! First Job at cafeteria at the local hospital.

First car was a 93 Firebird I got for Christmas. Had lots of fun in that car music full blast, Head banging to AC/DC or OZZY..

In the early to mid 80's the skating rink was the place to be and then
in the mid 80's we all hung out at the mall which was convently located right down the road from the Jr.High.. The Bowling Alley was located behind the Mall. My parents weren't big on us being there, so we would "go to the mall" Slip out the back doors and hang out until it was time for a parent to pick us up.. We were so dumb. The smell of smoke prob. Poured off of us...But who cared we were COOL!!! After we got into High school, cruising the mall parking lot and stopping off at the bowling alley every 30 minutes to see if any body "cool" was there.. Some of my first drinking experiences were from some older person at the BA trying to fit in with the young kids by making beer runs for gas money and a pack of cigs.....

I wish I had a time machine to go back in time and spend a couple of days enjoying my carefree days I thought would never end because I knew everything back then!
