How Many Do You Remember?

My uncle worked at Montgomery Wards, when they closed he went to Sears.

when you got a “boo boo”, it got sprayed with Bactine, if it was a gash or worse, it got the Methiolate.

Playing baseball all day on the fields at school, within walking distance of course, and playing Hide and Seek after the streetlights came on.

Singing your friends name out in front of their house, at the top of your lungs, to see if they could come out and play.

Cinder block and plywood bike jumps, and broken glass between the ramps, and the whole neighborhood of kids there to watch you crash and burn.

And my favorite memory from when I was a kid….the smell of a candle burning inside of a pumpkin at Halloween.
