What I miss...
Saturday morning cartoons while mom makes breakfast... The old classic cartoons. Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, Porky Pig... oh and watching the old school Mickey Mouse Club!! I miss Leave it to Beaver, Gilligan's Island, and I could go on for days but I think you get the idea... I miss my carefree childhood weekends. I miss making the neighborhhood club and having election day and since I was always the youngest I never got to be President or Vice President... I was either Secretary or Treasurer. Hmmmm, maybe I don't miss that so much. I miss visits to the local public pool with friends... but I sure as heck don't miss those gawd-awful sun burns where mom would have to call the burn unit. I miss the swamp cooler pointing down on my bed (cause I slept on the top bunk) in those hot Arizona nights. I miss playing in dust storms and tumble weed chasing... and I miss flagging down Albert the ice-cream man (Fat Albert as he was referred to) and I miss the produce truck and milk man swinging through the neoghbirhood. Hell, I miss watching the cartoon/show Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. I miss riding bikes till time for baths... and playing jacks with my three older sibblings while we each took a turn getting our showers. I miss sitting around the TV with bags of homemade popcorn and watching Almost Anything Goes... THAT was a fun show!! I miss the Love Boat and Fantasy Island too..........
Yeh, I miss my youth, my three older siblings, my mom making sure we always had even though we were dirt poor and all the simple fun times we made into super grand memories!!
