Always loved watching him even as a kid. He never failed to make me laugh....about anything!

When I was a kid, for a period of time we had one of those silver christmas trees with the color wheel. I loved that thing. I would sit in the dark and just stare at that tree turning colors, listening to Christmas music, just magical.
I would sit on the floor staring up at it and all things were possible.When I was a kid, my rich next door neighbor (who was the proprietor of the local W. T. Grant store) had the first one I’d ever seen. I thought it was so hip.
sledding in the snow down city streets.
"Suicide Hill" it was called in my town. They blocked off all traffic because it was too treacherous to drive, and so the kids could have a place to sled. Where I fractured my neck going headlong into a cement brick garage. Ah, the good old days.
LOL. And you measured how fast the hill was by they amount of blood found in the packed snow.In youth lived in Yonkers, NY- Wonderful hills. They would block off roads for us too. In youth we act first and think later- what fun we had!
good times...good times....Hmmm........I wonder what brought this thread on?

Now wait a New York minute!Hmmm........I wonder what brought this thread on?
Wasn't it just glorious?ME TOO!!!!!!!!!
People who did not experience this just don't understand the allure of it.
Absolutely! I am 53 years old and just looking at your picture brought me right back to the 1960s. I can see, feel and yes even smell that tree and the color wheel. Thanks for the memories!Wasn't it just glorious?
Same here. The only time our parents saw us was at lunch and dinner, or running up and down the streets. The wonders of the “woods” was the best part of childhood... Where you could envision and be anything you wanted.I remember when I could play outside all day and my mom never knew where I was. I would check in around lunch time and be gone again. The kids in my neighborhood had a nature club and we would be out in the woods identifying tree and shrub species, flowers, animals, tending our own pet cemetery (not Sematary) of personal pet family members and animals we found deceased out in the woods, getting a baseball game together, or kickball in the cul-de-sac. We would ride our bikes everywhere! Come home for dinner and back out again! When the streetlights came on, I was to be home, but even then I would be on my driveway catching the frogs that ventured out. I had a great childhood.
