Ten Happy Memories from Childhood

By request. In no particular order.

1) Backyard barbeques with my family.
2) Long, lazy summer afternoons playing and picnicking at the Duck Pond in Milford.
3) Buying Devil Dogs and Coke (in a bottle) and Bazooka gum at Frazier's Market.
4) Going to the Saturday matinee at the Capitol Theatre.
5) Falling asleep to the sound of the buoys in the harbor, with an occasional boat chugging in to its slip late at night.
6) Playing in the swamp across the street from our house.
7) Getting to have the cherry from Dad's evening cocktail.
8) Grandma's closet full of Christmas cookies.
9) Going around to all the windows in the house, to see the little numbered plaques on them.
10) The time Mr. Frost gave Laurie and me a whole carton of vanilla ice cream!
