[quote=Anonymous]Loved the "boredom" of summers. Walked to/from the pool where an entire summer pass was about $25; read voraciously lying down and sweating on the living room sofa since we had no air conditioning. I wrote short stories, inspired by all the reading. Several of the neighborhood kids "disappeared" to their grandparents' house. Some went to day camp. Very few to sleep away camp. These were never more than 2 weeks long, though. We were all so ready for school to begin in September! Thanks for this thread. I had amazing, happy, simple childhood summers. We had very little money and i never knew that until i looked back as an adult. I think i can still "smell" those hot hazy days in my back yard. oh, and my mom was a SAH mom until about age 10, then i was a latch-key kid while she worked part-time as an office manager. I would tell mom all about the pool and the book i had read when she returned home around 4. [/quote]
