Hey To Goobers!
Well, when I was a kid, my family didn't have a front porch. I did
however have a good friend who had a quite nice front porch. Since I spent
almost
all my waking hours at her house, I was able to take full advantage of their
front porch. That porch had two large swings on it. I was the kind of kid who
got motion sickness just turning around to answer the door, so I had to have
loved being there even though I'd have to endure the inevitable nausea I'd
likely be experiencing. (I did) =)
We girls each took one of those big swings and whiled away a lot of time
there, swapping stories and at times just singing our hearts out. I can
still see us, in my mind's eye, lounging in those swings with one foot hung
off
on to the porch to propel our motion. We didn't have a care in the world at
those times, or at least we didn't invite those cares to our "Front Porch
Visits"
It was on that porch, we planned our day's activities, discussed who was
sweet on whom, who we'd like to date... (if we could get him to notice us),
what we wanted to be when we grew up, how mean our siblings were to us,
wondered out loud if our Moms would allow us to go here or there and such
things
as which kids or teachers at school were currently giving us grief.
We covered a lot of ground while lying on our backs on those swings,
across from one another, both of us giving friendly, emotional support to the
other. It gives me "Smiles & Goose Bumps" just by recalling those happy
carefree days, lounging on that front porch across from my bosom friend.... we
were
kindred spirits. In those days, time seemed to stand still while we just
enjoyed each other's company!
Would I trade those days for anything else you could conger up? You be
the judge =)
You'all Have A Mayberry Day!
