(First of all...golly I've been blogging a lot while my hubby is gone. Can we say BORED?????? I probably would have last night too, but we were without power for about 2 hours due to a windstorm! Maybe I can get to a chapter in CTBHHM tonight....?)
Thanks Holly for tagging me!
5 Things I Miss About Childhood:
1. My Opa. He was my dad's mom's dad, so my great-grandfather. He only spoke German. Well, he knew 2 English words: More wine (but it came out "More vine"). LOL! He was extremely gentle, and THE most athletic person I knew. He was hiking in the Alps, cross-country skiing, etc. well into his late-70s. He smoked a pipe, and as much as I dislike cigarette smoke, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of pipe smoke because it reminds me of him.
2. I used to love going to my dad's parents' house. My grandpa was the Boy Scout Camp director for, well, EVER (LOL), and they lived on the camp. So especially during the summer, when we'd go visit we could go swim in their HUGE pool, go to the mess hall (with the industrial-sized Kitchen Aid mixer that sat on the floor it was so big LOL), go to the trading post, etc.
3. I miss not having to take care of people 24/7 LOL!!!
4. I miss all the great cartoons that used to be on. Now there isn't much to choose from (on non-cable programming anyway)
5. I miss having time to read as much as I wanted to.
The rules:

Journaling Through the Valley
Threefold Cord
Keer "Unplugged"
Now, select four unsuspecting souls and add them to the list...
