Peaches-n-Cream and childhood memories

I was strolling through the clearance aisle at Wally World the other day. I was looking for a fan and managed to turn down the clearance aisle with all the of the toys.
The toys always make me laugh a little because they are so different from the toys of my childhood. Trendy or uber high tech. There was this cat with a motion sensor that would meow and move. It freaked me out a little until I figured out what was going on.  It is a long way from My Little Pony.

But as I pushed my cart along, I saw something that was from a simpler, more innocent time.
It was Barbie. An older Barbie. MY Barbie.
There in Walmart was a 1985 Peaches-n-Cream Barbie.
I was dumbfounded. And then I was flooded with happy memories. I remember having this Barbie in 1985. That Peaches-n-Cream Barbie was a surprise from my mom. And the 7-year-old Ginger liked it and played with that Barbie a lot. In fact, I think that Barbie was one of the first Barbies to wear the beautiful blue formal Barbie gown my dad brought back from the Philippines. That's right, my Barbies had fashions that Imelda Marcos would envy.
Sigh, such happy times.
And so long ago.
Funny what you find in the clearance aisle.

I got this photo from the Walmart website...I am a little too frugal to spend $40 on her today. Besides, I still have the original.
