First baby boomer Member Registered: 10/17/05 Posts: 11 Loc: Long Island, New York	We also had a big porch where I sat and read many books on the glider. I also went to the neighborhood pool and had swimming lessons. We also played "kick the can" with the neighborhood kids. We went on beach vacations and visited my grandparents. We had no ac, either. Summer was fun. [/list] [/list] [/list] [/list] [/list] _________________________ Cathy R.

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	Ah...Summer. We lived outdoors! To the left of our house was a huge meadow where we played baseball and other games. To the right was a grove where we built forts and played hide n go seek. To the front was the big Atlantic ocean, cliffs and a beach with a natural waterfall pool. To the back was a pond where we caught cobblers(minnows) and behind the pond were hills where we picked blueberries. The house in the middle held all the love any child could hope for. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Jumping in mud puddles, making mud pies (and trying them), keeping lightening bugs in jars, keeping tad poles in jars, climbing Mamaw's pecan tree, dirt roads and bare feet, open windows at night and chirping crickets, skinned knees and stumped toes, hide-and-seek, telling ghost stories in bed, racing around the block, vacation bible school, pop cicles, peanuts in coca cola, tree swings... _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

Edelweiss...you've never had salted peanuts poured into a cold bottle of coca cola? Girlfriend you haven't lived. JJ...I KNOW you know about this...back me up, girlfriend! _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dee, I remember that cola, peanut thing; and, I've always been from Yankeedom. jj, That sandwich sounds awful. It's about as yummy as Elvis' banana/peanut butter craving.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	You're kidding, right? Honey, that is your meal PLUS your dessert all rolled into one! And I have to agree on the fried peanut butter/banana sandwich...I tried it and didn't like it. Now I DO eat peanut butter/mayo/banana sandwiches all the time and love them...just not fried. Ew. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Lola Member Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3703 Loc: London UK	I have a friend from New Orleans who prepared fried bananas with looooooots of syrup and ice cream on top. I nearly went deaf with all that sugar but, heck...looooved it! Does anyone know what it's called and can it be done with regular bananas? _________________________ <><
