I have not seen metal jacks in a long time.

We also had this very high slide that was humped in the middle so that when you launched yourself off the top and were going fast enough it would shoot you out into the air and you crashed down at the bottom with a thud! Now that I think back we are lucky that we didn't bruise our tail bones or worse break our necks!

My favorite at school was the "Kissing Tag" at recess. We played all the other things too. I wore dresses until 1968 to Elementary school. Pants underneath them was necessary in the winter! I walked to school too, over the tracks and through the gully. It doesn't seem as far looking back now.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-20223941578246531172010-05-17T09:14:54.771-06:002010-05-17T09:14:54.771-06:00What an adorable blog!

He told me of quite a few childhood memories of going to Grandma's on a Sunday evening and playing with cousins. The children sat on handmade quilts on the grass and listened as the adults sat in lawn chairs and visited. His mom and dad often made homemade icecream from the raspberry patch.<br />I was not raised with much family around, but loved to hopscotch (at school, like you) and in the evenings played kick the can with the neighborhood children. I remember hiding in the honeysuckle bush and not caring if I got found because it smelled so good.Nedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900971315865986311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-75457861990323444092010-05-17T07:30:49.770-06:002010-05-17T07:30:49.770-06:00Oops, forgot to say that most of my clothes were m...Oops, forgot to say that most of my clothes were made by mom or my grandmother - no hand me downs as I was an only child until I was almost 16.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889819189264646562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-73323031892388690722010-05-17T07:29:38.510-06:002010-05-17T07:29:38.510-06:00Wow, the memories have come rushing into my mind. ...Wow, the memories have come rushing into my mind. One of my favorite activities was jumping rope (teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around, teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground....) :-) I was one of the best at jumping double dutch (two ropes) LOL And, of course, tether ball and hopscotch were favs also. We used to spend hours on the porch of my grandmother's grocery store (it was attached to the house) playing with jacks - I loved playing with jacks. <br /><br />I may have to order this pattern to make a memory quilt of my childhood for my daughter, Kris. I wonder if she'd like that?

Don't know if I ever knew the name of that game. No hand me downs, I was the only girl. I didn't have tons of clothes and wasn't a pampered only girl. Once I did get a bag of hand me downs from a cousin and it was like Christmas! I used to walk to school every day, home for lunch and back again, even in snowstorms, all the way through high school. I wore a uniform, navy blue belted tunic with white blouse, and knee socks, and a little quilt with bloomers and white blouse, and keds for gym class.<br />I absolutely love this new block, and the cute print on the pink dress.dream quilt createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659318605290158236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-34406632552992443602010-05-17T03:43:52.258-06:002010-05-17T03:43:52.258-06:00Your block is so pretty & fun...lovely memorie...Your block is so pretty & fun...lovely memories.
