My mother passed away 12 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my mom. She was my best friend she made a trip to the store fun. I go grocery shopping when I get my paycheck now but it's not the same. Now I just go through the motions without anyone to share it with. She was a 1960s mom a stay at home mom and my dad was the bread winner. I thank God that I had such good loving parents because a lot of kids grow up in a loveless environment. But it doesn't take away the pain of them being gone.

My mother who passed away last month at 93 was one of those 60s women so well presented in this video. I was forced to sell the house I grew up in (closed yesterday) that seemingly was frozen in 1967. It was a sad occasion the final passing of those memorable time.

My brain is happy we went back to sweeter memories of time and families that unfortunately not around anymore. Thank you for this video.

I can close my eyes and see it all again.. I wouldn’t trade these memories for a million dollars.

I still have my parents Fridgeaire Flair stove with double ovens that they purchased in the ‘60’s. I can’t imagine bending down to get things out of the oven. With 2 stoves you can prepare 2 different items at different temperatures. I wish Fridgeaire would start making them again, they are the Rolls Royce of stoves. Everyone that see mine comments how amazing it is.

Everything my parents had came from a second hand store. There was no style preference but we always had what we needed.

The 60s decor was transitional. Early 60s still echoed the pinks, yellows, turquoises of the late 50s. My wife’s mom still has the turquoise Formica from ‘62. Mid-late 60s brought the copper browns, harvest golds, avocados. Our ‘65 house had white Formica with the gold specks, brown built-ins. By ‘70 the loud colors were “in, ” the Brady Bunch oranges and so on—and the orange, lime green, purple muscle cars arrived.

My parents bought a bright orange Poly Perk percolator. You weren’t going to find that in 1962! Neither the plastic or the color.

You constantly amaze me with all these recollection videos. Being an old man now takes me away from the troublesome world now and back to when life seemed like a wonderous and seemed like a simpler era. Thank you for all your work, research and devotion to your YouTube channel.

My Mom had one of those "Bewitched" oven/ranges. It was absolutely gorgeous with chrome on the inside of the oven, glass doors with rosewood handles. The electric burners folded into the wall leaving only a cutting board where the burners were. I hear they are highly collectable now. The entire unit looked like it came out of the Jetson's house.

4:44 My friend's mom, now in her 80s, still lives in the same house since she was three-year-old. Her only phone remains a black on-the-wall phone in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure that baby has been there since the '40s.

I lived through the 60’s it was fantastic the music, the style, the simplicity, just being young again 😔being child with no burdens or sadness ….

BORN IN 1959, I GOT TO SEE MOM ROCK THE KITCHEN, AND PROVIDE US WITH AWESOME MEALS !

We had the wall phone in our kitchen and I remember paul McCartney calling me when I won the KRLA contest in 1965.

These appliances still work.
Love my pop tarts. Still do.

The orange and yellow floral wallpaper. It brought back memories of my granny, helping my Mom put it up in the kitchen.
Dad and Mom were having a time of it, trying to get it measured correctly and hung. But my granny, who only had an 8th grade education got it figured out and up in no time. She was one of the smartest woman I ever knew! Not 'book smart" but man, she could do anything.

The nostalgia when watching this is overwhelming SIGH

In 1967 when I was 3, Dad retired from the Air Force, and re-entered civilian life. We then left Chanute AFB in Illinois and settled in Fort Worth, Texas. My parents soon bought a new "inventory" show house. It was the new standard 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage on-slab ranch-style with central heat and air. It was basically a good-looking design, but the colors and prints used were dark and weird. Mom never cared for them, lol! The brick facade was light yellow, the asphalt shingle roof dark gray, and all the wood trimming was a slightly lighter but still dark "battleship gray", as Mom called it. That all would change a bit later! The kitchen had typical 60s tract home simple wood cabinets, and the original Formica countertops were dark gray (or black) with a barely-noticeable green pattern print. The inside of our home was the new typical "open concept", with the front foyer immediately opening into the den, the den running into the walk-through dining area, and the dining area running into the kitchen, separated by an island (also with those dark Formica tops). On the dining room side of the island was the "breakfast bar", for breakfast and lunch. On the kitchen side was the separate cook top range, with range hood above. Because it was a "show house" before my parents bought it, the range was electric, but the wall double-oven a few feet away was gas! The range was a Roper brand. The oven and built-in dishwasher were by Caloric. Each were the black or dark gray, instead of the more typical avocado, harvest gold, or coppertone. Within the next 15 years, all that would change, brown paint replacing gray on the wood trim, lighter brown shingles after a few hail storms (Texas weather!), an addition in the early 80s bringing a separate dining room, sunroom, and walk-in pantry, and a whole kitchen makeover with brighter, more tasteful colors. Also, with a single-unit stove-oven range.

When I was a kid during the 60s, one of our neighbors had a house with its entire exterior made of knotty pine. It looked really conspicuous, but also beautiful. This was in southern California where it rarely makes an attempt at snowing, and it was sealed with a soft satiny glow. Very lovely home, plainly visible from our streets.

I remember the wall phone cords kept getting longer and longer so that eventually you could walk half-way thru the house while talking on the phone. And Pop-tarts, along with Instant Breakfast, were a staple in our house in the 60s. You could easily burn your mouth on a hot Pop-tart if you gulped it too fast from the toaster.

Our 1960's fridge had it's own ice cube maker.
Our fridge was Avocado Green.
I had my first taste of Cap'n Crunch when a sample box was delivered to our mailbox one day when my older brothers were at school.
