I do remember going outside in the morning and being called in for lunch..then out again til supper to roam my world. As we only lived half a block from the creek we were told not to play there...I wonder if it ever occured to my mom that we always had frogs and jars with tadpools..hmm. Oh yes I loved my childhood and wished that it was a safer place to live today and my grandson could experience some of the wonderful experiences I had.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349322690383471639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783356377885499313.post-61276358702323838962010-06-17T14:51:40.510-07:002010-06-17T14:51:40.510-07:00Amen to that! Now if you remember your childhood ...Amen to that! Now if you remember your childhood as simplistic, can you imagine 1951 I was 5, no such thing as TV. and life was easy. ( for a kid) the worst thing we could get into may be climbing a tree or falling off a bike, we were able to roam our neighborhood at will. Go buy Penny Candy or a good old Cherry Coke. sit on a swing and dream. Some of these we have passed on to our little ones but like Andrea said the world is not always a pretty place. we have to create our own little safe places now.Crafteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892791356004019248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783356377885499313.post-70887239033773084142010-06-17T12:39:22.470-07:002010-06-17T12:39:22.470-07:00How true!! I remember being able to play outside i...How true!! I remember being able to play outside in the yard alone or with my sisters and feel comforatble doing so. I remember walking to the store at 8 or 9 without anyone with me. These days more horrible things are happening in the world AND our media coverage of what is happening is so great that I do not feel comfortable allowing my children out without adult supervision. It is too bad because I know they have been held back some learning opportunities, however, I am fearful these learning opportunites come with too great a cost today. Today there is NO safe place that one can feel comfortable allowing there children alone...chidlren are stabbing children at school, children are being bullied at school and on the internet, s*&%t some children dont even seem to be safe with those who are supposed to keep them safe. Oh how I miss the simpler times.Mrs Shopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778282145495869062noreply@blogger.com
