Helping take in the laundry.

Watching the fireflies appear at dusk - time to go in.

Running in the mosquito fog behind the fogging trucks. (Probably saturating our lungs with DDT.)

Having a picnic on the picnic table out back.

Helping dad barbecue hamburgers on the barbecue grill he built in the back yard.

Home made ice cream.

Reading in a hammock hung in the trees on the back of the property.

Resting and reading in the cool of the breezeway between sessions with the lawn mower.

Getting a haircut at King’s Barbershop on East Lucas about a half mile from home. twenty five cents for a buzz cut, .50 for a flat top. That is where I learned ‘Ira denotidnoc’ by reading the inverted ‘air conditioned’ sign in the picture window of the shop.
