I loved to play jacks with my Mom and sisters (six older and one younger) . We all sat on the floor and what fun we had! :) We lived only about one block off of the bay (Puget Sound) across from Seattle. We would watch the lights twinkle at night from the bedroom window. I also spent a lot of time walking on the beach. One of my favorite games there was to climb up on the driftwood logs and then run as fast as I could jumping from log to log without having jump off onto the beach. What a beautiful place for a child to grow up! We lived in Suquamish, WA; the little town where Chief Seattle lived and was buried!
Thanks for bringing these great memories to mind. :)
