Laverne & Shirley featured best gal pals navigating a slew of I Love Lucy-esque misadventures in the 1950s-1960s, except through the lens of single women. In my opinion, it's one of the funniest shows of all time and one that I treasure.

While Laverne & Shirley were intended to simply be one-off characters, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams went so hard that they earned their own show.

Laverne & Shirley was a spin-off of the popular 1970s sitcom Happy Days, which starred the likes of Henry Winkler as the cooler than cool "Fonzie" and Ron Howard as the adorkable Richie Cunningham.

There's been something going around about lines from TV shows or movies that stuck with you. Here is one of mine:
"If in Heaven we don't meet
Hand in hand we'll bear the heat
And if it ever gets too hot
Pepsi-Cola hits the spot." - Laverne & Shirley
"If in Heaven we don't meet
Hand in hand we'll bear the heat

I’m such a sucker for neon lights. On one journey through New York City a particularly iconic neon sign was the friend I needed. Read "Pepsi-Cola Hits the Spot" here: https://tinyurl.com/PepsiColaSign

My favorite TV show of all time is The A-Team. Yes, the campy action show from the 1980s. While doing research for a future project I happened upon on of "the boys" and I was thrilled! Read more: https://tinyurl.com/setdressing #TheATeam #1980s #80sTV

The Giant Food sign in The Laurel Shopping Center has been a glowing beacon in Laurel, MD since 1956. Ain't she purty? 😊

I’m not really an Avon collector, but I have picked up a few bottles over the years. They are just so cute! Who can resist them? These whimsical bottles were popular from the 1960s through the 1980s. My favorite is the St. Bernard. What's yours?

Have you ever experienced olfactory memory? It's that feeling when you smell something and it takes you back in time in such a visceral way that you *almost* can believe it's the present? I recently experienced it myself: tinyurl.com/whenavoncalls #avon #avoncalling #olfactorymemory #timetraveler

You don’t need a time machine to connect with the past: it’s everywhere if you just know where to look for it. You take a small trip through time whenever you interact with something of significance from a bygone era.

If you feel a personal connection to family heirlooms (even if they didn’t come from your own family)…
