Almost six decades later, I still feel like a kid inside - the world around me is filled with laughter, sunshine and wonder.

Mornin’ all! Got tired of just reading your comments and decided to join up. I spent my girlhood summers in Ithaca, NY climbing trees, fishing, rockhounding, roller-skating and falling down a lot on our slate and cement sidewalks (with those diabolical flat metal skates that clipped onto your shoes and always fell off – only one thin leather strap on the back to go up and around your ankle, Snoopster! – and you tightened the clips with a skate key). My brother and I had pocket knives from about age 10 and onward – mine was a green-handled Girl Scout knife and I STILL HAVE IT at age 57 1/2!!! I still have a knife in my hip pocket most of the time, too … Speaking of grass stains: I’ve noticed that I don’t get them any more, even though I work on my knees in flowerbeds and such. Guess I’ve learned how to move without rubbing my jeans on the grass!
