I remember summertime being spent with neighborhood kids playing games such as baseball, jump rope, Simon Says, tag, Mother May I?, and basketball. If we were lucky, we gathered together and went to a local pool. It did not matter if it was 72 or 92 in those days. I was okay with these things, but I also enjoyed riding my bicycle through the woods and curlingu p anywhere with a book from my summer choices from the local library. If it rained, we would still gather to play games like Parchesi, Checkers, Scrabble, Dominoes, Rummy, or Jacks on somebody’s back porch. Those memories are priceless. As I sit on my back porch his hot summer afternoon, they are scrolling through my mind. Maybe they are for you, too.
