It's funny how an item can trigger a memory of days gone by. Who would have thought back in the early 60's as I tossed a dime much like this one into the air while sitting on the hot tarry road above our house waiting for the 'ding ding ding' of Mr. Softee's Ice cream truck to get louder, that scores of years later I'd give this coin a second thought. But here I am, feeling the macadam's misplaced pebbles between my toes and standing second in a line of six kids, trying to decide what flavor of cone I want.
Life was simple. Days were long. Summers... forever.
Hope you're summer is memorable! God bless.

| "Wheat" And you know what the dirt and water look like. This recipe is not meant for consumption. Just memories. |
How very sweet! Memories of childhood should all be such as that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Yes, my summer will be memorable....it's been a good one here.
ReplyDeleteI'll give that recipe a try.....M_M_M_ good.
Your mud pies were so much more creative than mine. Dirt and water, with the occasional grass thrown in for extra fiber, is all that made up mine. I LOVED making mud pies!
