So true and you can add to that, that we rode our bikes behind the mosquito DDT fog trucks every evening and well...we're still here!

Thanks, Ditter. We talk about all these things so often. And, how about our favorite sled riding hill. If you were one of the big kids and didn't stop in time you had to keep your head down to avoid the barbed wire fence at the bottom of the hill!

We are so fortunate to have lived in the 50's. and 60's - then it seems like it started "turning" When I mention to someone that I would LOVE to turn back the clock to the 60's - they think EVERYONE at that time was at hippy parties making free love and taking drugs! Not the case----

We were and are Awesome! How true and what wonderful, beautiful memories we all have...I just pray our grandchildren can find some of the joys of growing up as we had and not be not burdeoned by this new entitlement generation. I also pray that businesses find a way to make it in this country without being pushed overseas so there are jobs for everyone in our beloved country. We Are Awesome and I hope that continues to be for everyone!

Yes, good ole days except I had a mother who didn't smoke or drink or do drugs. She took me to church every Sunday and left a wonderful legacy for me. Thanks for the rememberances.
