I was thinking back to when I was small and what I did on Saturdays. My brothers are "lots" older than I am so basically I was an OC. But I did have the neighborhood kids to play with, there were always huge softball games, hide and seek, football, bike riding, roller skating, the "goody wagon" just to name a few. I remember it would rain and flood the ditches and we would ride a float or whatever down the ditch-line in our yards. We would play in the rain, there was no staying inside (which meant you had to help with house work.) I can still hear Charlie (Charles) Haston "doing" his sirens as we rode our bikes, I can still see Punjab and Lady (Bruce and Corey's) dogs, and hear Dr. Phillips leave numerous times a night to go to the hospital. He drove a green 442 Olds and he was bad to the bone! The mufflers were so cool, he left out of their driveway and shifted three gears before the stop sign. How cool! My bedroom was on the front of the house so I could hear him come and go. We would ride our bikes behind the mosquito truck through the fog and never thought a thing about it! Mark says it has caused my mental problems to this day. :( Going down memory lane is fun, I remember more but will share later. gift list ctn. 21. my wonderful childhood 22. Mike and Lisa Moffitt's fort and playhouse 23. trails along the river 24. evergreen shrubs make great hiding places 25. milk being delivered and the dog taking it Grace and peace to you all-make the most of the time you have it can change in a second. :)
