Your childhood scene mirrors mine. Walkin...Joyce,<br /><br />Your childhood scene mirrors mine. Walking to school, coming home for lunch, no strangers just a neighborhood, being a kid with no real worries, ... The placement of adults in our young lives. We respected those older than us. We saw our parents as parents. We never crossed the line and that was good enough for us, as it should be for a kid. No child needs to feel the weight of the world on their tiny shoulders. The conflicts and confusion are issues devised by the prince of darkness, the master of deceit, and author of chaos. We were blessed to grow up in the 60s and 70s.

You did listen to your mom when the zipper happened. I walked home for lunch too. Those were the days. We respected our elders and said the Pledge of Allegiance. How I wish kids could have this today. We were lucky.

I know very little about either of my grandmothers and writing about my years of growing up would be such a wonderful thing to give to our granddaughters.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-45897547173653198472021-04-23T01:44:35.559-04:002021-04-23T01:44:35.559-04:00Can I copy this and put it in my journal?!

I always lived close enough to walk to school, from Kindergarten through high school but everything else could very well have been my life. On Saturdays my elementary school would play a movie in the cafeteria and all the neighborhood kids would be there. I can still remember riding the little red trikes around the playground in Kindergarten. One of my earliest memories. Thank you for this post!

I went through HS in the 60s but lived in a very small town. Not too many stoners. Mostly band and football. I really enjoyed your school memories, Joyce! xoTerri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-78180375685398018672021-04-22T18:37:25.437-04:002021-04-22T18:37:25.437-04:00I love your theme.
