I love everything about the 60's. Especially the clothing, music and the peace revolution that happened. I love Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. My door in college was covered with photos of hippies, Woodstock fliers, Martin Luther and Bobby. I rarely was without a headband across my forehead and honestly believed I would bring back the 60's hippie. One of the first gifts Leif got me was the Woodstock documentary. I have watched that dvd so many times. I love it. I wish I had been a teenager during the 60's. So many great things happened. Changes that have made such a difference. And music has never been as great as it was then.
I am so excited that today marks 40 years since Woodstock. I am celebrating! I hope you do too:) Be sure to look up some live footage of performances. They'll blow your mind.

I agree with you about wishing I could have been a teenager during the 60's. What an amazing period of time in American history. I seriously need to check out the Woodstock documentary.
I'm more of a 70s era person (even though the 60s fashion is hot), especially the music and the art. My favorite picture of my mom is one that she took in 1975/6 (I can't remember the year exactly), and she is wearing her hair in t his huge afro, a halter top, some skinny jeans, and these platform shoes.
Nothing beats the music of the 60's. It had the power to move people.
There was a great Woodstock documentary on the History Channel last night. Live performance scenes were amazing. It kept the hubby and I up way past our usual bedtime!
We like to take photos, listen to lots and lots of music, watch movies and go antique shopping. We recycle and so should you. Leif collects shoes and records, and Margaret collects the fortunes that come in fortune cookies. Riley doesn't bother with collecting, she's too busy being an explorer. Beck is the lover of the family unless you take away his favorite toy or don't feed him hotdogs fast enough. We dance in our car and sing duets. We enjoy reading about design and fashion. We plan on starting a band when we're older, and becoming artists.

They've been having specials on Vh-1 Classics all week about Woodstock, and showing some of the performances. The music was awesome.
if you're a hippie chick, then you must really feel at home in nor cal! :)
...and I agree...I love the music of the 60's...it has influenced so much of the music I love today...
Oh I so dig hippy love!! The music still blows my mind. The era is filled of originality especially the music.
