OMG! ...We did that too!!...We would be gone ALL day, if there was a creek we where in it!...Our mom would never have been able to find us if she had to.
I think about that now and I wonder if it was just as dangerous back then with abductions as it seems now and where we just lucky it didn't happen to us....ignorance sure was bliss...that innocence is gone forever, what a shame...
