I'd love to have even half of that energy now, and the knees to be able to use that energy properly. <br /><br />The freedom from worry, loving parents, long lazy summer days, happy friends, kick the can with the neighbour kids in the summer twilight...so much more. As happy and carefree as those days were, I'm content now to watch my grandchildren enjoy their childhood and live vicariously through them.Pat MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497617342638521940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-50456376820600486762013-05-30T08:18:39.015-05:002013-05-30T08:18:39.015-05:00cube -- You are going to love retirement.

Grew up in a Forces Family (quarter's brat!) and just wanted to be in a home where I didn't move from every few years. So what did I do but marry a serviceman who was moved every few years - wasn't until I was in my 30's that we bought a permanent house.<br />Cathy<br /><a href="http://cranethie.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Still Waters</a>Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487589871746402154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-23392779129916715822013-05-30T05:50:35.636-05:002013-05-30T05:50:35.636-05:00Such an easy question to answer!

When he called us every kid in town could hear him. Come to think of it, he was also quite a good whistler.<br /><br />Changes in the wind -- I wish I could remember such a time. It seems I've always had questions. My first word was probably "why".<br /><br />gigihawaii -- Oh yes, I remember so well roller skating on our huge screened in front porch. It was a sad day when we revisited that house and the porch I remembered as being so big was actually very small.<br /><br />Belle -- Paper dolls were among my favorites.
