I loved this Marie.I remember our self made indian tent and playing cowboys and indians LOL!! We made our own bows out of a twig of wood and the arrows,The arrow head was made of cardboard and covered in the silver paper taken from the inner of the old ciggy pkts,people thew away haaaaaa.A bit of dads old garden twine on the bow,and we were in our element LOL.Todays kids have nothing to look back on.It breaks my heart sometimes.One of the main subjects I speak of each time my family are together.I have tried my utmost this New Year,to get them all to go back to the Old Traditonal Christmas this coming year.No techy gifts,just old fashioned family games craft things and books etc,for the teo younger Grandgirls.The older 3 are all working now,so they get clothes aand money.They are giving it some thought,so do lets hope Mum wins thought for the girls.Have a lovely Monday Marie.I am going to make the coconut recepe.I have copied it as my printer is broken right now.Take Care God Bless Kath xx

Never had a tee pee, and never thought about it, but now I feel like I was deprived. I love your memories and how they transported you!

It is snowing here today as I write, so I am warmed by all these summer images, Marie--THANK YOU! Winter is only really beginning here, so trying to keep my mojo going...LOL! Wonderful those coconut cookies. It's funny, I used not to like coconut as a child, but love it now. Happy Week, dear friend :o) ((LOVE & HUGS))

Summer memories tend to tide me over these cold winter months. Knowing that it won't stay like this forever is a great thing. I have a picture of the beach on my computer screen so I get a reminder of warmer days every time I open up my computer. Hope your Monday is a great one there!

My memories of tents etc are so good too..they must be.. I can't even remember if it was a tent or a fort or two that I made w/ my friends..But I bought a tent this summer for my alphabet boys..and we made scrapbooks and glued photos and read books and sat in it under the rain:) It's tucked away until next summer..and we don't care one bit the unsightly patch of no grass:)All I see is the pleasure I had w/ them..Loved Beaver Marie:)

I want summer back. I'm over winter.

It is funny how we can suddenly be transported back in time just at a sudden thought or sight..how good it is that we had such an imagination when we were young that we can remember now. Wonder what the kids of today will think back on ...That looks like a good recipe today Marie...well to be honest they always do LOL just as well I don;t go and bake them all...I am fat enough as it is..I am almost through al the Christmas chocs though !!!
Love and have a good day
