Do you remember when kids used to ride their bikes for at least 500 miles per summer?

I was one of those kids, too! All summer long was one long adventure of biking into the country, and pretending I was an archaeologist when the nearby gravel company would blast for more limestone gravel. I found so many fossils in that place.

Do you remember when you were a kid and went to family reunions, picnics, etc. and there was always groups of adults playing crochet, batmitton, tossing horse shoes, bean bag toss or some called it corn hole toss? You don't see people playing these kinds of outdoor games much anymore.

Do you remember when you could ride in the back of a pick up truck, that's where my friends and I would pile up on, calling dibs on the wheel well

I remember when everything closed down from noon to three on Good Friday!

DYR Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, the scent of new fabrics, twirling dress' ,pocketbooks matching your shoes , visiting family and then going to a fancy restaurant .

I'm still that kid Just with much fewer urges to do things like tear through the woods and fall into ditches while riding around.

Do you remember when people sat out on the front porch and just sat there watching the cars go by?

And chatted with neighbors walking by? When neighbors actually spoke to each other! And walked.

Do you remember those Butter Rum Lifesavers that were out many years ago? I haven't seen them since I was a kid!

You can also get them at Buc-ee's. I usually buy a couple of rolls and toss them in the console of my truck. They're an instant happy place while stuck in traffic.

Thank you! I've only found them at truck stops. I'll be heading over to Cracker Barrel soon. Wonder if they'd sell me a case?

Hmm......well we are small town and country but Butter Rum is a good seller at our store! That just ain't right that you are searching for a Butter Rum Lifesaver!

And neighbors would play horseshoes and crochet together.

If you were a kid watching from your porch, someone would wave you over.

Do you remember when you could get a copy of your birth certificate from the hospital, rather than pay for a copy of it from a state agency???

Do you remember neighborhood-wide games of hide and seek that would go on until the street lights came on and our parents were hollering for us from our front porches?
