I did. We were poor but mom grew up on a farm and we had homemade clothes, remade clothes, one pair of shoes for school and a pair Sunday school. If we were lucky, we had winter boots. We had socks for gloves. But we never went hungry. Mom could make homemade dinners from scratch and make it stretch. Yes. I had a wonderful childhood. We didn't know we were poor. Not until other kids told us we were. But I had a wonderful mother and a dad that worked a steady job..
I've learned through life to be grateful for what I have...but we're learning. Oden and Harris as did Obama are resettling mostly Muslims and CCP giving them $5K and housing, and our jobs. This year 300K Americans lost their jobs and 650,000 were hired. Veteran kids lost their tuition, but illegals are getting their paid for by our tax dollars. I'm Aurora Colorado, a notorious Venezuela gag, fully armed have taken over an Apartment Complex and that Democrat Govenors refused to do anything claim it a lie. I'll post it on my page. It shows them going door to door armed, even busting into locked doors.
Thomas, you're welcome. if I remember correctly, once we were in high school playing football, we cried "Car Coming." Plays included, "run straight out and I'll hit you in front of the Buick."
I very much enjoyed reading your baseball encounter! I grew up in a semi rural area with big fields and country roads. We did play baseball though every night after dinner all summer. and your reminder about the "car! " yell brought it all back!
I like the way you wrote about your apology. A kid of the 50's likely had almost all those reasons for saying "sorry" but it was the perceptive child who might have realized the loneliness that lived in that apartment. At least people today are talking about loneliness. As the comment below says, saying hello to your neighbor is a good way to temper loneliness.
Glad you enjoyed it, Gracie. You played baseball? Girls played hopscotch on the concrete,. What we would have done for those "big fields" of yours. Today when my wife and I walk in our neighborhood with green belt after green belt after green field, I shake my head and say, "We would have killed for just one of these." I could just feel the old lady's loneliness - maybe more like emptiness.
I was the middle child of nine . Four older brothers, three younger brothers and then one more girl. Imagine that! My brothers were (and still are) my world. We played baseball and built tree houses, and rode bicycles , and slept outside in makeshift tents in the summertime. It seems so idyllic and many parts were just that. An elderly couple lived next door (thinking about it now, they must have been in their 70's - no so elderly!) and the woman would have me over every other Saturday morning or so to do light housework for her. I wonder if she just wanted the company? She paid me a quarter an hour and that was treasure to me!
You and all of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's, even part of the 70's had such a wonderful life! My heart cries for our children, grandchildren great grandchildren. I started working 2 jobs in the 80's and that's when my family fell apart, my daughter'ssrrird their highschool sweethearts against my wishes, their marriages fell apart bcuz both husbands were either alcoholics or cheaters. Broke their hearts, split their families up...and their girls are picking it picked the same men. It became a curse, and I believe it was from an original sin, and the fact that I'm the 70s there was a group of very evil businessmenn. If you know about the Rothchilds, etc. They had the means to begin their eil plans.
I'm just learning about cancelling evil in my life. I'm going to have to go through radiation therapy, but I'm cancelling out, in the Name of Jesus the Chemo. Clue. Frequencies.
There is a cure. There was as far back as the late 60's, but these men who infilyrsted our government, went in and shut down that research center, confiscated their files and threatened that staff. That plane that crashed in Brazil had researchers who were onto a cure. Same thing happened to the researchers who were experts in Ebola and Aids.
It's just now coming out bcuz everyone is now gone and that research was destroyed or kept for their means.
Politicians owned by them repealed very important laws that allowed all these enemies within to come here and get into the Legislative, Judicial and Executive Branches of Government. I just had a dream of things that happen to me while working for the Government. Remindimg me of how treacherous people were.
This law is the key to where things went South for sure. It's the 1952 US IMMIGRATION & NATIONALITY ACT. PL 414, Chapter 2, Section 212. I don't know if it's still out there on the web, but it basically banned anyone pledged to Islam, to be on our soil and in another Section, it prohibited anyone a card carrying member to be a US Citizen. Meaning the entire DMC, esp. those like Pelosi, Schumer, etc and Rhinos like McConnell, McCain ( yes), were never allowed to be in our Government. They subversively did so. I believe it was her and the above who quietly repealed the law. But, Marbury vs. Madison and the fact that all these subversives did to destroy us ( they started it, Obama was to end it and turn out Nation over to our enemies, he's behind Harris). Bcuz of their treachery and repealing even the 1948 Smith-Mundt Anti-propaganda Act Obama repealed Dec 2012 in his Marshall Law Act...
All this can be rescinded retroactively once President Trump gets back in. Laws that were repealed by the very people who they were written to protect our Constitutionsl Republic from.
Those Judges in those NY cases against President Trump are both Marxists. Judge Merchan is a Naturalized citizen with Communists ties. His daughter who attended every court hearing, received in excess $12M from the DNC,Hakeem Jefferies with ties to Islam. The SPLC lawyer helping AG Bragg, worked for Obama's DOJ. So called Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, was never appointed by Congress, which is a requirement , so he's not even eligible to bring indictments against President Trump. He, his mother, I believe or am Aunt worked for George Soros. The common denominator in all this is George and Alex Soros who voted to destroy America. He owns 72 Dist. Attorneys, all across America, including Bragg, Harris , Willis, and Smith.
Very interesting. Indeed, the mind can have a profound effect on a person’s health. I don’t have any solution for all this loneliness, except try to avoid it, and say hello to your neighbor.
Thanks for the like. Fred CRISIS
I live alone, in the woods. I don’t expect to last too much longer.
We still do in our house!
I do
Sure did!
It's actually Treason.
I did. We were poor but mom grew up on a farm and we had homemade clothes, remade clothes, one pair of shoes for school and a pair Sunday school. If we were lucky, we had winter boots. We had socks for gloves. But we never went hungry. Mom could make homemade dinners from scratch and make it stretch. Yes. I had a wonderful childhood. We didn't know we were poor.

It's pitiful what those creeps are doing
Those were the days!!!!
And we can have it again folks if you just put the right person in the White House. Vote Donald Trump 2024.
We played everyday in summer fall winter football hockey no Gameboys then
All too familiar with yelling car! Thanks for the memories! 👏👏
Thomas, you're welcome. if I remember correctly, once we were in high school playing football, we cried "Car Coming." Plays included, "run straight out and I'll hit you in front of the Buick."
Fred....that is definitely a daring approach to playing in the street!!! Good times!!!!!
Not so daring. The Buick was parked. We also targeted the Johnny pump.
👍 A safer alternative. We had a long street and we always try to squeeze in one more play before we had to scatter to the sidewalks.

Depends on the neighbors
True. I would venture to say , though, that most people in a neighborhood would at least return a wave/smile/hello if it was extended w/o judgement.
The neighbors to he West are odd.
She is a demented witch. And the man just goes along with it

I played baseball with my 2 older brother and other neighborhood kids in a field behind our bouse

Lovely story! Growing up in the 50’s we LIVED outdoors !!
Annette, it was true for us in the city, and probably even more so in the country and suburbs.

I apologize for misspelled words. I need to proofread better! I use my cell phone and always quick to hit that send button!!
Yes, that explains it. You had enough siblings for an entire baseball team.
