It seems like we all played outside most of the time. I never see the kids in my neighborhood outdoors.
JanRN, Jacks were a favorite in my day. I can remember playing with my mother on the hard kitchen table. You can't find those nice little balls anymore. The ones nowdays are hard little things that won't bounce.
My bike was my favorite possession ever. I named it "Blue Star".
Biggest difference about kids running the neighborhood now is that it isn't safe anymore. Sad.
