That was summer for us. We looked forward to Joe or "Good Humor" to come around. Joe was actually a neighbor, and his daughter was in my class. Another summer treat was when a "ride," like from an amusement park came trucked in for a half hour or so

Those rides were very different from what you see in the pictures I took "the last Tuesday of summer vacation in Shiloh's "Central Park."
Everything was different "way back when." I'm pretty sure that, in the 1950's, the grown-ups at Rockefeller Plaza wouldn't have walked around in such "informal attire."
Well, now it's back to work for me, a full day, so I had better plan those lessons.
Summer time it's already finnish :( We must wait a bit for next year!!

ReplyDeleteWow! How's that for my minimal Spanish!
The southern hemisphere is just enjoying spring time right now, while...
What a trip back in time. I wonder what my then/there places look like in the here/now. Maybe that will inspire my next vacation.
ReplyDeleteSure which places? Bayside? or where you grew up?
ReplyDeleteSummer sure has come and gone quickly! I remember the Ice Cream Man coming around our neighborhood when I was a child. I wish they still had that today. I think my daughter would get a kick out of it!
