I’m often asked how I got my name. I was actually named after the character Buffy on the T.V. show “Family Affair.” I looked a lot like Buffy with my blond pigtails. The series, which ran from 1966 to 1971, was about a bachelor, Bill Davis, who lived in Manhattan with his butler Giles French. When Bill’s brother dies, he is left to care for his two nieces and nephew (twins Buffy and Jody, age 6, and Cissy, age 15).
When I was little, I had a “Family Affair” metal lunch box (my first) and a Buffy doll. The doll talked when you pulled a string in her back. Oh, how I loved that lunch box and doll.
Do you have a favorite lunch box or doll or toy that you remember from your childhood? Oh, do share.
I used to watch that show religiously when I lived in California - that and the Banana Splits. There, now I've really dated myself!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch the show too. I can see you looking like her as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWow, I used to watch that show, too. I forgot all about it! I haven't even seen it in re-runs.
ReplyDeletemshatch, I used to watch the Banana Splits, too!
Does anybody remember Simba, The White Lion?
And of course, there was The Monkees. I used to record their songs -- by which I mean holding up a tape recorder next to the television.
Uh... make that Kimba, not Simba.
ReplyDeleteHow about The Brady Bunch and Patridge Family and Rockford Files and Nanny and the Professor? Now we are really dating ourselves!
ReplyDeleteTotally off topic here... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Spoil yourself for the day!
ReplyDeleteMartina & Marissa
You're sneaky Marissa and Martina, but thanks ladies for the birthday wishes. You know what wish would really be great, right? Here's hoping this year is it -- for all of us!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved all those shows! Especially Kimba the white lion; that was one of my favs - and speed racer (I kinda had a crush on him and Jack Wild).
ReplyDeleteHow sweet :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! How is it I didn't know it was your birthday??? I hope you had a lovely day...
