Cul-De-Sac

There is a group of us that live around the Cul-De-Sac of our neighborhood. Jimmy is ten-years-old, the same age I am. He has a big tall life oak tree in the backyard with a tree-house we use for a clubhouse. Marty is twelve-years-old. He always wants to boss everyone around. He has a younger sister name Becky that always wants to join in all the time. We try to run her off, but she’s always underfoot. Marshal is ten-years-old. He wears blue jeans with a large silver western belt buckle with a galloping horse, cowboy boots, and a straw black cowboy hat the hatband is adorned with silver conchos, and pretends to be a cowboy. If the weather is nice, we gather together and pretend to be cowboys and Indians and chase each other around, or pirates on a sailing ship. Or play marbles and see who loses the most. If the weather is bad, we play video games. If we fight, after a while we’re friends again like brothers. 2/23/2023 This or That, Vol 16' Contest Info Sponsor Edward Ibeh

Oh Eve, this delight brings back so many wonderful memories of "our gang on Newton Street!" There were seventeen of us who ran in a pack! Our parents never worried about where we were, they could hear us coming! Thank you for this trip into happy days of childhood. Think I will give a friend a call. Blessings dear friend. Happy Lent!

Parents always sent us out of the house in good weather. So one had to invent things to do.
