Fun times
I was the little chunky kid next door, Ricky Miller. She sat me in the front seat of her wagon to take us to Birdland pool, she took a corner a little quick, I said SHIFT! she said (I’m not wearing one honey!) then she busted out laughing then I got it and laughed.
Another time I was climbing the tree near the driveway next the Jones house. I was pretty high in the tree, I fell from the tree and landed on a bolt laying on the ground and cut my left foot, I’m must have cried pretty loud, she found me picked me up took me to my mom.
She was so kind to me. I came back to visit a couple of times. Missed her then, miss her now. If any of you want to write please reach out rami57@msn.com I tried to find you all years ago, miss you guys.
