Remember when times were simpler and you didn’t have a
care in the world? If you’re like me it was when you were a child because the
complications usually start for us in our teen years and only multiple from
there.
Summer vacations in my family meant a two-week break and
the whole family would load up the car and head to Clear Lake, CA to spend time
with my grandpa who lived in a big old, rambling 3-story “cabin”. My sisters
and I would spend our days walking down the dirt & gravel road to the
little general store for candy, bottles of Squirt (real glass bottles) and post
cards; jumping off the little pier , swimming out to the wooden, floating deck
to sun ourselves; playing games and cards and exploring the countryside and
feeding the deer. TV? Nah. Video games? Nah. Like I said,
simpler times. I’m so thankful I know those times and wish today’s kids did.
The days where you played outside all day, drank from hoses, listened to our
parents, and grew up with a little more innocence.
I'm so grateful for the memories I have and the time I grew up in.
