time marches on.

Its very true that they say time marches on. I was doing paperwork in the office today, when a Wings song popped on the oldies station. It took me back to when my folks, brothers, and i used to go tent trailer camping in the 70s and 80s. Certain songs do that with me. At 44 years old and with a family of 6, i dont get to do the things i used to do. I am greatful for what i have, but sometimes i want to go back to when things seemed simpler.

Eddie Money had a good song that was appropriate for this feeling i also remembered that feeling in the pit of my stomach when i realized high school was over, and more than likely i would never see most of my classmates and friends on a regular basis, coupled with the thought that the party is over, now the real world starts. Pretty scary thing for a kid at that age. I think this is why i love the old mopars, i had one thru high school a 68 charger, i also had a 68 cuda fastback. I look at the 67 coupe i am rebuilding like a time machine of sorts for me.

Heres a list if the things i miss from years past.

Spending hours building model kits.
Catching tadpoles at the campground lake we used to visit.
Going by grandma on sunday after church for Ziti macaroni and home made sauce.
Tearing around town on my trusty BMX.
Not worrying about job or money issues.
Taking my allowance and going to the local hobby shop tobuy models, and supplies.
Spending summers at the beach.
Actually finding parts for my charger in a local junk yard.
Racing slot cars on a track in the basement w my brothers.
Enjoying camp fires at the campground.
My briggs powered minibike.
My excitement when i got my drivers licence.
How my heart felt when i met my first girlfriend.

I do enjoy my life now, God has truly blessed me in many ways , im not complaining, but sometimes i wish i could go back and relive these little snippets of my past, instead of just being able to daydream of times past.

Anybody else here want to go back?
