Times of our lives

Thinking about when life was so much different then it is today.I don't know but it seems like life was just a bit easier.Maybe cause I was a kid..    We had so much fun just playing in the creek beds and pretending we were  princesses or cowgirls with horses(sticks)...but the point was we had to use our imagination.I loved clinbing trees,it was so cool you could climb up there and  they would never know you were there. If it was an apple tree you had food. I used to live down the street from a cemetary and we would walk through it all the time.I mean during the day it was ok.

One night us girls, Becky an Sylvia and me were coming back from somewhere in town.it was a small town and it had gotten dusk.People didn't worry to much back then cause it was still safe to be out after dark.

Well we got to the cemetary and we really didn't want to cut through but it was getting late,so we decided to go through...were walking and all of sudden from a distance we see this flag waving back and forth  all by itself.  We were little so our imagination was big.  Well we were scared but my oldest sis Sylvia said its one of the boys.  Sylvia went walking through not paying any attention to it,but me & Becky decided to check it out...brave lil souls, just as we approached the flag waving...out jumps my brother Jeff...Boys can be sooo bad.

While we are on this subject of Jeff my 2nd oldest brother I have another story to tell about him.

One night we were told to get up to bed, so us 3 girls started up the steps as we hit the top step there down the hall,  all dark,was this hairy looking ,glowing eyes type of creature.

Well what do 3 little girls do...SCREAM!....and run or fly down the steps.My dad  about came unglued and yes we got in big trouble as dad took us up the steps of course nothing was there and my brother Jeff was in bed sleeping.

I think dad always new what was really up but  he let the boys get away with  it once in a while. I have to tell you what he made the creature out of though....Moms furry winter coat with his stand up punching bag,her white eraser  lip stick for the face ,which was horrible looking, and a flashlight sitting on the floor under it to give it a glow.

Yeah it was a creature,I mean I can still remember it today so it made an impression. So thank you brother Jeff for scaring us girls half to death..I know it was so much fun for you.  Life really was fun then...there are some more of these stories I will tell later, I have to find pictures to go with it.
