A Romp Through My Youth
I remember that Great grandma didn't like kids and chased us with a broom. We laughed like little maniacs while we were running.
When we played cowboys and Indians, we made the neighbor kids be the cowboys. We only wanted to be Indians.
This is my brother Matt. He is sanding a box that he made for me the last time I was home.

This is my sister, Betty, and my nephew, Sean. We all grew up in snow country, but I left. And I really don't miss the snow!
Lazy Days of Summer
My brothers and sisters were the best part of childhood. Even now I laugh harder with them than with anyone else.David and I got in trouble when we were just toddlers really. We started the most beautiful little fire out behind the garage. Grandma saw the smoke and shut us down.
These are 2 of my nieces, Kelly and Jeanie.

Following The Big Kids
We hero worshipped the big kids. Cool is what they were, riding bikes and making wisecracks. Aunt Barb read adventure poems to us that I still remember today. My cousin Bob let me read his Mad Magazine.These two would also appropriate the only two swings we had. And the swing set was ours, but we got to hang out with them, so it was absolutely worth it.
This is my sister, Rosalie, and her grandson, Jake.

- I enjoy people writing about their childhood. I did an article on mine from Key West. It was one of the most satisfying things I have written. Enjoyed reading yours.

- I played by myself a lot. I had a cat. I made up a lot of imaginary games and talked my friends into playing them. Eating wild berries. Riding our bikes to the old fort and scaring the tourists. Jumping into Lake Superior.

- When I was really young we had Popeye, The Yogi Bear Show, The Pink Panther, The Flintstones and more. I also remember Four Feather Falls, the first of the Gerry Anderson puppet series - people are more familiar with Stingray and Thunderbirds though. Later The Monkees and the Banana Splits. Lots of good memories.
