What Did You Get To Do Growing Up That Your Kids Will Never Be Able To?

How bout riding backwards in the back seat of the family station wagon with that big window down..

Or playing "pitch" for hours out in front of the house...

Hitch hiking everywhere you needed to go, although if you waited at the window and drank your coffee you could pick which neighbor would pick you up as you saw them leaving for work...

Hanging out in the town square with about 50 other teens, just playing frisbee and "other" things...

Pooling your money with 3 or 4 friends and buying a pony keg and starting a party...

We grew up in an old farmhouse with no insulation, cold as heck in the winter. Everyday my brother and I would have to break up palletts to burn through the night. One year dad decided to buy a ton of coal to prolong the wood supply as pallets would last very long...made the whole house smell like a train yard!!

We also got that spray in formeldehyde insulation, and there was a scare about the health benefits of the smell of it,'so my parents refused to come home for almost 6'months while the house was tested and the results came back. It was alright for my brother and I to stay and run the farm, but not my little brother and parents!! Hmm, come to think of it,'that may explain a few things!!!LOL!!

Ah, the good old days!! Geof
