Wonnie....we lived much of the same life !!!!
We rode the streetcar to the next town on Saturday to spend the day at the movies...just me and my brother - i was 9 and he was 5 !!
Catching fireflies on a summer night....or playing "ghost in the graveyard"....IF you were allowed to stay out after the street lights came one... Hanging clothes on the line in the yard - and using the clothes prop to raise the line up once the weight of the laundry caused it to sag.....buying hot dogs that were actually made at the local grocery store and strung together like other sausages - and they went "snap" when you bit into them. I was lucky enough to grow up in the town of West View -- where we had OUR VERY OWN amusement park....raking leaves or shoveling snow from walks and steps for 25 cents a house...catching crayfish in the crick....
You know....words of that song really do hit home..... "" it's not just a different time, it's a different world ""
