#TuesdayTen Am I Really That Old?

Tee

Last week I participated in a great kinda new LinkUp hosted by The Liebers and The Golden Spoons called #TuesdayTen.  It was a lot of fun and I had the chance to share What’s In My Bag? with well…everyone!  😀

This week the Ladies are actually making me wonder am I really that old?  How you wonder?  This week they want us to look up the year we were born and share the Top 10 Headlines OR Songs.

So in order to do that obviously I had to do a bit of research on my birth year and some of the things that happened… I really didn’t realize I was that old! LOL Don’t get me wrong, I love my age…it took me a lot of work to get here but looking back can be an eye-opener

The prompt gave us the option of choosing the Top 10 Headlines or Song but since today is also #TunesdayTuesdayHop and I have made a playlist for my Kiddies Jams I decided not to overload everyone with music.  So I’m going to go ahead a pick 10 of the Top Stories in The News and Events from 1978:

    I love my Sony Walkman! I used to have one that played cassettes, then I borrowed my boyfriend's CD Walkman, which always skipped, and now I have a small pink MP3 Walkman. It's great when I'm exercising!

    1978 was the year after I graduated from high school – so I remember most of the things you listed, but I'd forgotten that the Jim Jones thing happened that year. What a shocker that was and so awful! My friends and I talked about it for weeks and weeks. And Fleetwood Mac – I loved them! This was an excellent look back. Thank you! 😀

      That was definitely a tragedy. I didn’t realize when it happened either. Fleetwood Mac is always a favorite on my playlist! Thanks for coming by 😀

    If you think you're old, you're really going to think I'm old! Let's not even go there! My kids would have no idea what a walkman is either. Isn't in fascinating to go back through time and look at all the changes?!

    Glad you linked up again! Oh the Walkman – I used to love mine! And, my hubby's birthday is August 6, too, but he's 1971. 🙂

        Wow. I can only imagine the things I will have to explain to my son: records, rotary phones, dial tones, disc man, walk man, etc.
