Hi Karen!
I am not aware whether you have heard about the game of cricket or not. When I was young, I loved to play cricket and badminton, as outdoor games. Hide and seek was also played whenever we used to get a chance, it was a great fun playing hide and seek and finding out the person, who would hid himself. While indoor, we used to play chess and snakes & ladders. It was real fun time and we miss all these activities now a days.

Hi Karen!
You made me laugh
when I wrote that even adults play hide and seek at the gatherings at your home. It sounds really great and interesting. Wish I could also play like it.
Hope now you are clear about the game of cricket. It is the second most passion in India and is like religion here, after movies.
Have a great day!

I used to play cricket and a few more games you won't be familiar with. These games appear to me very silly now though they meant a lot to me when I was a boy.lol

I guess the years I spent at home as a child would be called odd in todays sense actually. I used to love to play horseshoes and croquet. Not games a child thinks of nowdays. Not even back then really. But those were my faves. I now love a game called Ladderball. Sort of like horseshoes but with a tiered framework, tossing balls with strings on them over the crossbars to earn points like in horseshoes.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Karen....I got jipped out of a childhood becasue I didn't get
the priveledge of having a stay at home mom. My father and mother both worked the afternoon shift because my mom never got her drivers license so this way she could go and come home when my dad did.
We had a babysitter and she was as sour as they come. No fun or shanigans with her. She followed the rules to the t and then some.
I always looked forward to the weekends and to our famiy vacation we took every summer. Oh the beautiful sites we would see. I knew my mom and dad could not afford these trips but they did them so we could have memories of doing some things together as a family. These times are burned into my memory and now I am telling my grandchildren about the adventures I had growing up.
