(or Winter Solstice for anyone in the Southern Hemisphere). Summer is officially here, though we're already into our second heatwave here.
What are some of your favorite memories of summer as a kid in the 70s or 80s?
mine were:
-riding bikes around the neighborhood to find kickball or Wiffle ball games to play in
-having a stack of comics or Hardy Boy books to read on the few rainy days I couldn't be outside playing
-having a mid-July birthday, one of only 2 times a year I would get new toys (Christmas being the other) and getting things like the Mighty Man and Monster Maker and the Spider-Man van for my Megos.
-baseball cards and listening to the Red Sox on a transistor radio while sitting on the front stoop hoping tonight would be the night Dad said hey let's go to Dairy Queen for an ice cream while we listened to the game in the car
-sprinklers-I never learned how to swim as a kid and we never could afford things like a pool, so running through the sprinkler on hot days was the best we could manage
Please share some of yours...
