Summer Memories ... add yours!

[Medusa]

Ok, now that Karen mentioned fireflies again, it brought up another memory for me. It was dark and my husband (at that time) was still outside, so I thought I'd go find him and when I did, he was standing at the split rail fence taking it all in: there were hundreds and hundreds of fireflies hovering. It looked as though we had lit up the back portion of our property. My now late SIL had never seen a firefly before and when she saw that, she was awestruck! This is a great thread!

Hmmm... lets see here...

Oh, catching fireflys with my cousins back at my grandparents house in Illinois

Going to the cottage in Wisconsin with the entire family

Swimming with the neighbors

Family & friends, and sometimes neighborhood BBQs

Taking walks with the dogs in the park at night

Just thought of another summertime treat when we were kids. There
was a wreck of a the Blue Bird Pie company delivery truck on our corner
one time & the pies got throw around (inside their boxs) & unfit to deliver.

The driver let all the people have free pies. Each of us kids brought
a pie back to mom with the story of "free pies". She went outside to check
our story before she let us keep them.

LOL, The end of the story should be, For the rest of the summer we thought of different ways to get a truck to crash for more free pies!

Out here we had the Helms Bakery Truck. It was a Ford with double doors at the back, You'd flag him down like the ice cream man.

He's open the doors and you see six shelves of baked goods. You'd ask him for donuts and he'd sllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiddddddddde open this long drawer. I was short enough to get the whiff of the MAPLE DONUTS-God Bless America, my mouth is watering!!!! He had pies, turnovers, chips, bread and cookies.

It was like a baked food junky's mobile dealer!
