I loved to read and I loved picking out the books I wanted to read.

Yes the good ole' days... I too would be gone all day from home.. take a lunch in a sack and take off on bikes to wherever we wanted to go..... no way to get in touch with mom or for her to get in touch with us! We would play outside after dark, playing hide and seek, wandering the woods or sitting on the front lawn of someone's house. I know the kids of today miss out on those days... thank you for the nostalgia and memories.. and I still love to read and love to haunt the libraries.. no e-reader for me.. I like the real thing! I love the magazines too of cottages, beach places and mountain cabins.Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-52154606746864394472015-06-27T11:28:14.357-07:002015-06-27T11:28:14.357-07:00I remember reading on the beach, every summer, und...I remember reading on the beach, every summer, under the umbrella, toes in the sand! As an adult, I still like to lose myself in a good read whenever I can steal the time!

We could leave the house in the morning, find our way home for lunch and then be gone till supper and back out again until dark. Our parents didn't have the constant worry over us, and we weren't connected in any electronic fashion to them for those glorious hours of play. We worked out our "fights" by ourselves and had great plans for every day. Picnic lunches on a blanket nearly every day..... which I now believe was my mom's way of keeping us OUT and the house clean!! We also didn't have every minute scheduled with camps and lessons and summer school and play-dates..... I know it is silly to talk about those good old days, but when it comes to our childhood vs. most kids childhoods today ~ I do think we won!!

Have you noticed how few, if any, kids you see playing outside these days?. Not even in their own yard. I know there is a safety issue today, but even the parents do not seem to sit outside so that maybe the kids could enjoy the outdoors. Just a shame to me....Jenny S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03215140632305122541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-62411350627184593362015-06-26T16:00:54.759-07:002015-06-26T16:00:54.759-07:00I love to read all year round, but summer seems su...I love to read all year round, but summer seems such a good time to relax with a book when it's too hot outside to do much else!

We had so many kids on our block and we played outside every night, had clubhouses, made a newspaper one year and just on and on. The parents all sat in lawn chairs in the front yard and visited.
