In reply to the discussion: My new neighbor is very clever. [View all]MineralMan
(146,359 posts)15. Yup! It's a great sound.
My neighborhood reminds me a lot of the one I grew up in back in the 1950s. Actually, all the houses here are from that vintage. The kids in the neighborhood are all outdoors anytime the weather is good. There's a little lake a few blocks away they can fish in, and these kids are out and doing stuff all day long, just like we used to. It's not a well-to-do neighborhood, but there are tons of families in it, all working and raising their kids. It's a nice place to live. And it's in a big city, too.

You are a gem and a rare one at that. Too many adults can't stand to see kids having fun.

Reminds me of some "cousins" who grew up a few miles from me when I was a kid.

That reminds me of a lovely story about my dad. He was 50 yrs old retired from the military.

Your welcome. I loved him so very much. Am almost 65 yrs old and still miss him very much.
