back in the day

On this flashback Friday, who remembers the Kmart layaway? I had a conversation with my kids earlier this week about what layaways were.

In honor of Back in the Day Friday and The Ultimate 80's Bash going down at Hacienda tomorrow I tried to notify all my pals about the festivities via this old school cell phone but alas the 80's struggle was real. Me being in my early 30's remembers some of the struggles of the late 80's. If ...
