It was the early Fifties, and we neighborhood children played "Korean War." Predictably, the boys were the soldiers, and the girls were the nurses. Our hospital was the open back of a furniture store delivery van that one of the dads drove home each evening. We also played endless games of baseball, in the side yard of some of the kids' grandparents. We picked mulberries for one of the grandmas who wanted to make a pie. Most of the mulberriesfrom that tree dropped to the sidewalk and made a purpley smashed mess! There were many games of hide-and-seek. Lots of card games. Canasta comes to mind. We played Monopoly too. We had a "house" set up in one girl's tiny basement storage room. Served many an invisible meal on little toy dishes. Ahhhh, good memories!
