Drive-Ins On the Fourth On Many Years Ago Well Memories

July fireworks bring together families and friends for a much needed vacation from worries and work. Picnics at and on the lake just for memorie's fond taking. I remember the days of old when watching a movie outside amongs't the stars and moon. Playground equipment of a slide and swing nestled right next to an entraptment framed sandbox.Oh to be youthful and exuberent again. Lightening bugs flickering into the night. Today's movies consist of many smaller theatres jam-crammed tighter together than a can of sardines. An alignment of multifleck'd multiplex light beamed shows across the screens. Remember when Fizzies were the rage-Just dropp them in a glass of water and sniff the boquet of different fruit flavored bubbles would tickle the nose. Ah yes, different flavors of instant soda pop in a colored aluminum or plastic glass. Just like Alka-Seltzer-only better tasting. Can you remember back wearing shorts and igniting sparklers and black pills of instant snakes arising from the sidewalks or street. Yes those times were just real amazin', and real, real neat.
