Did you have rubbers? For your shoes that is. ..
I could never get my rubbers on...
I did. They would go over your sneakers and up your leg.
We were a different family in some sense that we were from AK down in the south. I have memories etched in stone from about 4 on.
My first bicycle was a blast and Santa from K-mart said it will be done. I took that thing miles from home.
Thanks Santa!
One early winter, I had outgrown my rubbers. We had an early snow. I had to endure the indignity of walking to school one day wearing bread bags outside my shoes in 6” of slushy snow.
I’m 55 and still mad at my mom for that one.
When I was three, I had red rubber boots with a single snap at the top. I was outside playing in the snow by myself. I came in and heard my parents downstairs so I started walking down the steps and slipped. I distinctly remember falling down the stairs. Bounce, red, bounce,red, bounce,red
