What makes you say Oh Yeah?.....

[ladybug2004]

The idea behind this post is to remember things from growing up that we thought were really cool.

Some of mine were:
-rockem sockem robots
-blamo bubble gum
-orange crush
-drive in movies
-penny candy

What do you remember from your past that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?

The smell of the woods
Crisp autumn morning air
The sound of snow falling
The wind rustling the leaves on the trees in the fall
Watching fireflies dance on the fields

Drive-in movies, definitely
Cherry Mash - we'd eat them til we were sick
Tastee burgers, onion chips and onion dip
Chickenfighting and penny drops off the monkey bars
What the air smells like when it's getting ready to rain

Ice-cold Grape Nehi Soda
Penny candy from the local grocer
Drive-in movies (I so miss the ones around here)
Exploring the "mountains" behind our house in Massachusetts
Laying on a sun-warmed rock there and watching the clouds go by
Wading in the CLEAR water and crabbing down at Point Lookout and Abell's Wharf
The smell of a barn - leather, animals, and other earthy scents mingling
Feeding the cows handfuls of grass at the neighbors farm and smelling their warm "clover breath"
Walking all over Lexington Park and the base and never feeling afraid
Mad magazine

Hunting Easter Eggs with my brother & cousins.
Big family get-togethers (holidays).
Riding my bike to get a milkshake from the local dairy.
Swinging on the rope swing at my grandparents house.

and last but not least ...

Sledding down big hills ... and having the energy to keep climbing back up for another ride.

Freshly opened Lays potato chips (when they came with 2 inner bags in 1 larger bag) and Kraft Philidelphia cream cheese with onion (in the shallow metal bowl you had to open like a can of icing) at 8:00 pm on a Wednesday night just as ADAM 12 was coming on.
