1*I remember those three.
2*Stopping at the little mom and pop grocery store straight across from the school house and buying me a Hostess snow ball cup cake for a nickel to eat before going on into the school .This was in first grade and I was only 5 years old at the time. A 5 year old back in those days didn't get a nickel very often so it was pretty far between hostess cakes wonder it that is what made them taste so good.
3*We didn't have any heavy kid to test the vine but I never went first.
4*I watched Roy but I don't remember what time I got up.
5* yep cowboys and Indians.
6* Me and my cousin made bows and arrows out of umbrella ribs and used a piece of fish cord for the bow string .For arrows we took one of the ribs and ground a point on one end and ground a notch on the other end.Did I mention those things would stick real good in trees the porch post building and house trim and the
outhouse. Used to hide them inside our jackets and sneak them into school too.
7* We used to nail them right up the trunk of a tree and call it a ladder to a tower.
8*We always road way out in the country to grandmas in the car. Always got a piece of home made bread baked on the old wood cook stove before we left to eat on the way home I swear there wasn't nothin better than that slice of bread smothered in butter.
9* The burger houses were after my time.
10*Not as long ago but still over 46 years ago me and a buddy camped out sleeping out in the wide open spaces on 2 army cots no tent. Little did I know than I would own that piece of land a few short years later and would spend the biggest part of my life calling it home and living on it.
11*Me and my cousin made a lot of coaster carts when we were kids. We had one that steered on both ends;
The JD x749 don't have nothing on us.
We had another one that had steel reel type lawn mower wheels on it and it would really fly down a hill.
12*We never had anything but a push mower .
