my childhood was MANY yrs.ago.what i remember is all the neighborhood children getting together late evening, early nights playing red rover,stop light,tug of war,&soft ball. it was a real treat to go to the pool or lake swimming.there were no ice conditioners. onlt the well off had a car & t.v was for the rich. i remember homemade pully candy afer school.(taffy).i can remember homemade ice cream & boiledpeanuts.i remember going to get fresh peaches from the famers market & my mama cutting them up & freezing them.we would take them out & half way thaw them & put sugar on them & eating them to cool us down after playing hopscotch or jump rope. i have alot of memories from back then when drugs were not heard of & alcohol if it was drank was kept a secret from children. i was blessed to have a great childhood & a great father & step mom.thank for taking me back to the good ole days.
