Check In

Let's give Mom some light reading & everyone check in!
Nothing to write about? How about sharing one of your favorite childhood summer memories...

Let's see...
I remember spending hours with Susan swinging from the wheeping willow branches over the creek & occasionally falling in (on purpose). Eating loads of unripe apples because I couldn't wait. Picnics in the yard & BBQ's in the firepit. Wading in that creek catching minnows. Putting bacon on a string & crawdad fishing. Not sure we ever caught one. The smell of furniture polish on Saturday mornings as we all did our mandatory chores with the windows & french doors wide open. A little square pool we set up at the bottom of the steps off the screened porch so we could jump from the top of the stairs. Chasing the ice cream truck for blocks as we never thought ahead to get the quarter. The smell of fresh tar as we watched them lay the roads behind us & trying to get the tar off of us before mom saw it. Mrs. Bectle hanging her laundry out. Sundays at grandma & grandpa's & the forever drive in the back of the station wagon.

How about you?
