It's good that you are trying to recapture that freedom.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-60781858392041729392016-08-19T20:13:02.862-04:002016-08-19T20:13:02.862-04:00Thanks Laura for a reminder of what life was like ...Thanks Laura for a reminder of what life was like many years ago. On occasion I'll smell something outside, and I get an instant memory of long ago. I am very lucky to be a teacher because I do have the opportunity to enjoy the days of summer. I also have memories in my minds eye of reading The Secret of the Old Clock and visiting the library during the summer to check out books and fill up my summer reading card. I love your blog and the reminder you always stress, of the little joys, (which are far larger than I often give credit to) that make life perfect.

Sometimes, if the wind was right I could smell cookies baking, as there was a cookie factory about a mile away. <br /><br />We played outside until the street lights came on. A lot of hide and seek, a lot of bike riding, and just walking back and forth to each others houses. When we were little kids it was fun to use a stick to poke the tar bubbles that bubbled up from beneath the brown gravel that covered the roads. I usually had at least one or two bike accidents, or trips and falls with badly skinned knees. I remember soaking my knees in the bathtub and then getting out, drying off, and putting on my "baby doll pajamas". They were so poufy. Baby doll pajamas were a big thing in the sixties, even for adults.<br /><br />susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-79104450164581427352016-08-19T15:47:46.061-04:002016-08-19T15:47:46.061-04:00I haven't heard that term "shorty pajamas...I haven't heard that term "shorty pajamas" forever! What a memory jog! And Nancy Drew.... I still have bunch of her books I've saved from my childhood... it would be fun to read them again! I love reading but don't do it as much as I used to. Now I feel guilty if I read too much.. but getting lost in a book on a long, hot summer day, is a wonderful thing. I most remember riding my "stick" horses around the potato fields behind our house, playing with our dolls, with my best friend, under the trees in the front yard, playing hide and seek at night, in the dark, with the neighborhood kids, and just walking around the neighborhood looking at all the beautiful flowering trees and plants in peoples' yards! I also loved going swimming at the lake nearby.... I loved lake swimming and don't do it anymore.. maybe it's time?? hee hee..... simple pleasures are the best!
