The Kids on My Block!



Wouldn't it be wonderful to go back in time...just for a day...and relive the best memories of an earlier life?  On my street, there were nine of us girls within two or three years apart in age.  We were all in school together, in Girl Scouts, goofing off, ballet lessons, dress-up and just hanging out.  Some of the best times were the birthday parties.  Here's mine...


And here is my brother's...



Here we are goofing off....





The boys had their organized sports...ours would come later!



So, we had more parties...



We didn't set up play dates; we just knocked on the doors of our friends and were invited in.  We hung out all day until we heard our mom's voice calling us in for dinner.  We graduated high school, went to college, married and moved away.  And thanks to social media, some of us are finding each other again and we are reliving some of the best memories of our lives!

Today's post, The Kids on My Block, is brought to you by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop.  Stop by and enjoy some wonderful memories others have shared by clicking above.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Wishing you a great rest of the week!

Our social media used to be the alley behind our house. During the summer every kid in the neighborhood was there. Mom would throw us out of the house at nine in the morning and tell us not to come back until lunch at the earliest and preferably dinner. Great memories!

Such simple and wonderful times. It took so little to entertain us and doing absolutely nothing took up an entire day.

Nice memories, thank you for sharing!
