I am going to be 57 soon and some of my childhood memories are of being around 5 and every summer catching fireflies(lightning bugs) in a jar and letting them go. One time I was mad my sister caught more than me so I let hers go in the house. Also we could always run all day and night as long as we came home for meals, those were the days when it was safe. Also we lived a couple of miles from Lake Michigan and we would walk there and play at the beach all day and I can still remember that feeling of being at the water all day and being starving. My dad would always take us 4 kids and ay of our friends who happened to be around to the museums, zoos, forest preserves in his big station wagon. Boy I could go on and on this is bringing back so many memories, Great topic. |
