Do today's children see the world as a nicer, safer place than we adults do? I hope so.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-86933619744072858602011-07-10T10:40:06.373-05:002011-07-10T10:40:06.373-05:00When I think back to childhood and the fun we had ...When I think back to childhood and the fun we had in the summer, I can't remember why I was so eager to grow up!

Because I have memories much the same as yours. My heart absolutely aches when I think about it and wish ... also.... that I could relive those wonderful carefree times. Freshly mowed grass, iced tea, cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden and the squeak - slam of that wooden screened door. It was a gentler time and we....are soooo lucky to have these memories.Golden To Silver Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585559845728927540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-37598494839982649812011-07-07T16:44:54.691-05:002011-07-07T16:44:54.691-05:00I think you are right about what Grandpa said...I ...I think you are right about what Grandpa said...I will edit it and add those words.

You might be surprised at how important it is to me to hear from readers. Comments are like puppy treats: they make me want to keep doing more of what I'm doing right.<br /><br />Butch and Levi are doing fine, and I'll write more about them soon.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-68685555139836989902011-07-07T15:21:29.457-05:002011-07-07T15:21:29.457-05:00Linda (Although I think of you as Velvet) -

I have never written you a comment before because of my "Why would she care what I think?" frame of mind. But, today I just have to tell you what a talent I think you have for writing. I always enjoy your posts and look forward to them.<br />(How are Butch and Levi doing?)puphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755417256224605831noreply@blogger.com
