1. Playing paper dolls with my sister.
2. Sitting in porch swing at my grandmama's house, while we colored in coloring books. Grandmama always signed her name on the pages she colored. Oh how I wish I still had some of those coloring books.
3. Going "to town" on Saturday nights. We only had one car, which Daddy drove to work. The stores on the downtown square stayed open late on Saturday nights. When Daddy got home from work we'd all go back to town, park on the square, shop and visit with friends. Daddy would stand on the sidewalk talking to his friends as long as there was anybody there for him to talk to.
4. Playing with my sister in our "play house" under the old chinaberry tree in our back yard.
5. Jumping rope
