Favourite childhood memories ….

Riding my bike or the horses all over the "neighborhood" (our neighborhood was 1 mile on a side) or in the neighbor's pasture when they didn't have cattle in the fields. Setting up a tent in the field and camping out with the neighbor boy. Ice cream fresh from the maker. Watermelon with the whole family gathered around.

Pet lambs to play with, poddy calves to ride, ponies to ride and, like you, holding wool for Mum to wind up into balls.

Oh yes, I remember getting the kitchen chairs and a big sheet to make a tent for my sister and I to play in. It was so fun! I loved hearing the ice cream van come down the street. I also remember getting my mom’s big kitchen pot to make it a pool for my Barbies! Unfortunately, when we were done, I don’t think I put it in the dishwasher.

I love your very sweet memories too!

Taking the bus and going bowling. Making puppets like the "Flying Purple People Eater" Making a fort out of a fridge box in the middle of the living room Staying out in the s**w until I couldn't feel my hands and feet Walking to school every day We used to grab ice from the milk truck

I can't remember the exact year, but i can never Forget the experience. I was still small and back then my dad was still alive. It was Christmas day, we really didn't have enough money to go out or at least cook something nice at home, as kids me and my siblings where feeling sad about it, but we understood things where pretty difficult. After church that Christmas day, we felt we would be going home straight, but we noticed my dad was taking a different road until we got to the sea port, he had a little discussion with the guards and they let us in. That was the first time i saw ships live. We drove round the port laughing and talking about the ships. Sadly they didn't let us into one of them cause that would require approval from their captain who was absent at the moment. There was no food or money that Christmas, but it felt like i had won the lottery and my Christmas was the best.

Funnily enough Hopscotch followed by Postmans knock of all things We used to buy cigs from the ice cream van Did the dens right enough, much to parents annoyance
