We lived on a street that ended in a woods/forest and I spent most of my youth climbing trees, helping clear an area for a baseball field, ice skating and just hanging out in that woods. I can't imagine what it would be being used for today!
This morning I was thinking about it being VJ-Day today and how, after it was announced on the radio that the war was over, my Mom and I actually broke into the Police Station, climbed up to the belfry and rang the fire bell. T'was exciting to see everyone come running!
Free Republic certifies financial record in accordance with SEC mandate...
Good for her. After all it was reason to celebrate.
We never had it easy...but we never knew we never had it easy. :-) Before ice skating we would have to shovel the snow off the pond.
To make extra money we shoveled parking areas at the Project for 25 cents a spot...sidewalks 10 cent from one apartment to the next...AND we even shoveled clothes line areas. No dryers back then and people would hang clothes out in the winter. They would freeze...stiffer than a board....yet somehow dry a little. LOL
