Making a tent out of blankets over the clothesline.
Rolling down the hill in our yard.
Swimming in the ditches after a heavy rain.
Having a campfire and sleeping outside--till we got scared and went in!

Mrs. Jones,
Funny mud pie story. I have a first cousin who is 6 months older than me. Her sister was four years younger than us.
She would make mud pies, then we would ride our bikes through them. She would run to my aunt in tears. We still laugh about that. It came up at our Thanksgiving dinner. She says we are the reason why she is so mean. I think we just taught her to stand up for herself. She's awesome,
My best memories are sleeping really late during summer vacation, that first time you get to go outside barefoot, and playing in the rain during the spring. I still do the rain thingy with my kids.

Going to town to get new shoes for school
Having "the box" arrive from Birmingham relatives and trying on all the old/new things
Last day of school when Teacher would make ginger cakes and lemonade for everybody
Getting a new dress all the way from Mobile for homecoming at the church
The 4th of July gathering when EVERYBODY would come from far and wide and children could stay up as late as they wanted
Snuggling under covers that smelled of Clorox bleach and Octagon soap on those long winter nights
Getting up early with Daddy to enjoy a cup of coffee

What snowbird said.
Freshly plowed dirt. I always loved gardening time. Picking pimento pepper. Hitting my Dad with a rotten one and him laughing. Most kids woulda toted an ass-whoopin'.
My Dad playing music loud. We both love the Stones and Waylon Jennings (what a pair--lol).
Taking my kids swimming last summer, picnic lunch and all. God, we had fun.

Also throwing a dozen rotting fish at my neighbour's livingroom window.
Letting off stink bombs in the school audotorium during a school assembly.
Grossing out girls with big ugly bugs.
Urinating in gas tanks.
Spitting in my teacher's hot dog.
