Trysha, where do I send those Hershey's kisses? Wow, you brought back a lot of memories...especially the Barbie doll! My Barbie doll was having a fling with my brother's GI Joe doll....uh, sorry, action figure.

We never did figure out the "ghouls" thing, but since that thread, I've been remembering all the fun stuff we did back in the day, when we were truly innocent and knew how to enjoy life!

Thanks for the memories,
--Zaina

since there were 9 of us - people tended to come over to our place; Dad also rigged spotlights out in the yard - so we often had long evening games of 'kick the can' or 'sardines' in the evening (when we weren't supposed to leave the yard).

Not leaving the 'yard' wasn't a hardship - as it was defined as the three properties adjacent to each other on our corner - but leaving out the section of marsh!

Daytime activities included "skunk cabbage whacking" - which my mother hated - because it took several washings to remove the smell from our clothes!

Full-on, entire neighborhood of kids (2-3 streets worth anyway), no holds barred, all yards acceptable, commando hide 'n seek. There must have been 30-40 kids. It was nuts. And the black-out in '65 - my mom fed our entire block since we were the only ones who still had a gas stove. I think I need to go out and climb a tree. Oh yeah, it's raining. I guess if I were still 8 it wouldn't much matter.

our favorite play times were when school would be let out due to hurricanes; the whole neighborhood and all our friends would gather in our yard and we would dare each other to see how high we could get in the trees with the wind and the rain...
