Childhood Fun

Tweet

I spent many happy days down in the country with my grandma and grandpa. I would get on the back of the tractor and ride all day with Grandpa thorugh a cornfield or wheat field. Other times I would stay at home with grandma and go help her in the vegetables planted. But lunch time would come and I would carry a large jar of ice tea in a mason jar to grandpa and an old time lard pail for his lunch. I always stopped at the creek or spring I should say as the water was very clear and very cold. Those were good childhood memories. I remember when TV was on and grandma did not have a lot for snacks so she would take teaspoons in a large pail of peanut butter. then give us each a spoon full of peanut butter. And I deffinately remember when I was 4 years old, we had old Charlie a horse out in the pasture that would kick grandpa off him so no one rode him. I happened to get off the porch and walk out to the pasture. So offf I went and before you know it I was under that horse and taking a leg going around in a circle singing ring around the rosie, Pockets full of posies. And I just kept going singing that song. By the time my parents noticed me gone, and realized where I was, they came down very gently as old charlie was known to buck. To this day everyone that remembers the story says he must have known I was a child and would not hurt him. That just amazed to still hear my family retale the story. What did you do when you were little that you remember?
