I liked Leave it Beaver and can remember the first Beverly Hill Billies. The scent of the orange groves and Mother's cooking. TV black and white, good manners and in school we said " Yes Ma'am" or "Yes Sir" you only make the mistake of forgetting it once otherwise you wrote it 500 times..
No privacy fences, neighbors talked and sat in the lawns drinking coffee, sharing cakes. Replanting the sod at 5 cent per square.

Poor Bright Irish...but her spouse may have no regrets! Good combined post.
I took down your oldies in the movie titles category...Is the Birds Alfred Hitchcock's?
Glad you remember Ike---he was special in terms of religion, and reminding us of the "dangerous Miltary-industrial-Political Complex". He dropped political---after advice. But he was a member of the Russelites with his parents until age 12. Then the first world war did not end, and his father left the Russelites, which became the Jehovah's Witnesses. His biographer says Ike sowre the oath of office on a Bible printed by the WatchTower society, and it was his Mother's! She had remained in that church when her husband left in disbelief when Ike was 12. But thank God Ike gave us "In God we trust"; and One Nation, "under God,"with liberty and justice for all- in 1954?

I remember talking with the neighbors till wy after dark.
Then a streetlight came on and a few minutes later one neighbor glanced up at it and said "The moon is sure bright tonight." It was time to go in.

I remember knowing your neighbor and helping when they were sick. I can remember cutting the elderly lady next door's grass with a pushmower because her husband lost his legs in a railroad accident. She would alway's offer me a dime to go to the cornor store but I knew not to take the money.. It was tempting sometimes because candy was only a penny. 
I remember ' Poodle Skirts' and Sat. night ' Sock Hops.' And ( this will get you) I remember going to visit my cousin in Nashville and meeting the Everly Brothers in the drugstore, before they made it big, and Phil Everly wanted to take me on a date. I was only 13 and dating was out of the question.
