Oodles of Childhood Memories

Picking berries on grandpa’s farm; watching him milk cows in the barn. Getting chased once by swarms of bees. Oodles of childhood memories. Books that I read with so much to gain. Walking down that long country lane; Hiding behind and climbing up trees. Oodles of childhood momories. We had albums; one Disney song Snow White sang and we’d sing along. That dear pink bear I loved to squeeze. Oodles of childhood memories. Happy as heck, let out of school; walking miles to the public pool. Firefly nights with a cooling breeze. Oodles of childhood memories. Kickball, volleyball, so much fun Hosing each other down in the sun. My siblings and I so easy to please. Oodles of childhood memories. A pogo stick and bikes to share. My troll dolls with their goofy hair. Hoppity Hop I did with ease. Oodles of childhood memories. “Bonanza” time – popcorn our treat. All the food I ever did eat. Being the oldest and the tease. Oodles of childhood memories. Our vacations, Halloween and Christmas parties that were so grand. Sledding and skating; oh the freeze! Oodles of childhood memories. Slumber parties; each lovely friend. Sisters, though, are friends to the end. The four I’ve got make better these oodles of childhood memores. July 10, 2019 (Happy Birthday to my baby sister!)
