"Rememberin"

Remember...

when no shoes for the summer time.
when walking to town 5 miles to see a picture show.
when playing thumbs up at parties.
when Annie Over was a game.
when ice cream was made with fresh milk and raw eggs.
when kids tried to suck eggs.
when persimmon sticks sharpened and persimmons were a weapon.
losing hide from above sport.
to get around was 2 legs, horse or a friend's jalopy.
when we knew everyone in the community and the names of their dogs.
when cap guns and dolls and clothes were Christmas.
coming to Turner Community for the pie supper and then the Christmas tree.
riding on Idus Watkins and Roland Pettengill buses.
eating wild cherries and mulberries.
how much fun we had growing up.
all the friends you have.

Remember.
