Pickup baseball, football and basketball games.
Tackle football in the lot next door.
Sit on the front porch swing and just swing.
Grab fishing pole, ride bike to the Miss River levee, set a line.
Roller skate on the side walks in the subdivision.
Grab an ice cream cone from the drug store on mains street and look at and read their magazines until someone ran us off.
Climb the sycamore trees in the yard.
Build dirt forts and layouts for our army men.
Target said army men with our BB guns.
Play cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians.
Cut up some wood scraps and try to make something…..anything.
Each of us siblings helped mom cook something when weather was crappy outside so we all learned how to be really good cooks. So happy for that.
