Days Longed To Be Remembered

Fifty years ago came to me this morning days long pass a June day so cool. Waking up to musical sounds of birds singing to me. All summer long to freely do as I pleased. No cares, no worries just now waiting for friend Danny to call, to see what we will do. Junior high school waits for us after Labor Day but today June 12 is long way off till then, so let's have some fun while we can. Shep greets me at back door with a wag of his tail, love this dog who has three more years with us yet. So many things to do, three movie palaces downtown, we may go to one of them. Swiming would be fun, but it looks like rain, just heard Buddy Holly sing "That Will Be The Day" on the radio, great song and singer. Nineteen-Fifty-Seven, days longed to be remembered. Heading downtown on trolly bus, only ten cent fare, what a deal that was. Paramount Theater, what a movie house, and so grand. Twenty-five cents to see double feature "The Incredible Shrinking man" was playing today, don't remember other flim. Danny and I both loved this flim. after movie we went over to city drug for a coke, only ten cents. Rain is coming down real hard now as we sip our cokes joking around as we always did. Rain has stopped as we walk over to catch our bus. Neither of us knew it at the time that someday we would look back, not knowing that this date, June 12, 1957, would be. Days longed to be remembered.
