oh just sitting and missing the days when we were young
we would ride up the hill on our horses and race across the top of it
i cant believe her mother didnt stop us, that was a dangerous game we played
we would fill big boxes with water in my front yard
and sit in them the best we could
when water would leak out we would use old rags for patches
those days i had sunflowers in my garden
they were close to reaching my mommas window
my daddy was still with us and he came out to play sometimes
the days were so hot that the nights would stay warm
we'd bring a little television outside and watch movies on the swing in the dark
there were barbeques because my dad loved to barbeque
the girls and i would always "accidentally" catch our marshmallows on fire
we read books from the library and went to activities to get points
we were given cool things for being avid readers
we'd go to the snow and tobagon down hills
with pieces of our clothes and sticks we'd make snowmen and give them names
the was a baby shower in the park after melinda was born
of course there was food and cake and pictures and we kept record of all the gifts
the icecream man always came by the old house on cedar
the four of us girls would run outside and get the icecream with the bubble gum eyes
donatellos eyes were blue or green or purple and our mouths would change color
we'd eat the icecream first and save the bubble gum eyes in a little cup for last
we always wanted to save the best for last
their little spa became our ocean
we would snorkel in it and swim in circles even in the summer
it was never heated, not in the winter either
we made haunted houses in their backyard and charged people to get in on halloween
there were school dances and crushes and hormones, and there are still crushes and hormones
we went to shows all over the area
i would watch aaaron and doug and dug and travis play in dougs garage all the time
and after their shows we would sit in the music room and sing
they played at an iceskating place a few times and a young teens club
and a few days ago we went on a trip and we pushed the two beds together
and we all slept in the same bed for three nights
everything is still so beautiful, but then again, its very different
i wish to never forget how things were before
