My grandpa wrote poems and one of his was about the games they would play and the things they came up with for fun. They would climb up on the sheds and slide off the roof. The girls had to wear dresses so they tucked their bloomers under them and slid! Lots of times catching their clothes on the tin and getting in big trouble for it! LOL
I spent alot of time as a kid climbing trees and playing in them.
I remember taking sticks and sharpening them on the sidewalk to use as knives. I threw a rope up in the tree and made a pulley and tied it to a basket so I could take stuff up in the tree with me. One branch would be my bedroom and one branch would be the kitchen and one branch was the living room! LOL It was a great big old oak tree and I spent many hours there.
I am an only child so I spent alot of time by myself or with my lab Pudder. We got him when I was not quite two and my mom and dad named him Butterball. I couldn't say butterball so it came out Pudder and he was my playmate and best friend for 12 years.
