  1. ..."Gabby" Hayes is a name that I haven't heard in ages.

  2. I had a Hopalong Cassidy lunchbox! Ma was not sentimental about childhood things. I bet that lunchbox would have been worth a small fortune now

  4. I'm sure I must have seen this when I was a kid because we had matinee movies that played theme weeks or months and westerns were cheap back then for them to get so I saw many old westerns and remember old Hopalong Cassidy for sure!

    1. They were popular in theaters, so I'd bet it's one you've seen.

  5. There really were hop-along-Cassidy films? I guess that's where the phrase my aunt used to say came from. :) How's the grandbaby?

    1. Lots of them! That grandbaby is such a sweetie pie. He's learning to recognize his daycare buddies :)

    1. I like variety, so sometimes an old western is just the thing.
