memories of mine...

nowadays,you,as a child,can not go outside without supervision,and that is absolutely right... however,when i was a child in the 60's,and early 70's,i remember many days of my dear departed mother telling us kids,"to come back before it gets dark",and us kids would scatter to the four winds... most of the time,i would stay around the house playing in the backyard,or wheeling around in my peddle car,and then trailing after my younger,but bigger,brother and would play games with him... i even would go to a neighbor's house and play around,but i had a very pleasant childhood... the one odd thing that i would do would be to say to my mother that "i am going to take a walk",and i would just walk different neighborhoods,and be back in a couple hours,and actually one year,i walked backwards home every day from school(fifth grade),and got very good at doing it that i could almost walk home as fast as others would walk home going forward... i am listening to XM satellite radio channel 60's on 6,and just remembering a very nice time in my life... what a childhood!!!!!
