uh...well I am not 35 or over but I guess I should be dead anyway. when we werent working our tails off we were allowed to play and play usually meant running off into the woods for the afternoon (BY OURSELVES AT THAT!!!)
we pretended that the foot wide stream was a mighty river and that following it to the other end of the neighbors farm was an expedition and we were the pioneers. (oh and there werent any "no tresspassing" signs either) when we were done we would go home for supper and eat everything on our plates, wash the dishes, enjoy a little family time watching one of three channels we could get on the tv (but we had to change the channels but hand) then we would go to sleep and get our rest because the next day we had to weed the garden, stack wood and mow the lawn!!!!! oh and my uncles yard too if his wasnt already done!
