I LOVED GROWING UP WHEN I DID...

 We are:

A generation that walked to and from school.
A generation that did our homework ASAP so we could get outside and play.
A generation that spent all our free time outside with our friends.
A generation that played hide and seek and captured lightening bugs on Summer nights.
A generation that played in the mud.
A generation that collected sports cards.
A generation that found, collected and washed & returned empty soda bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought a soda and candy bar with the money.
A generation that made paper planes.
A generation who bought vinyl albums for our record players.
A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.
A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.
A generation whose parents endured The Great Depression and saved the world from Tojo, Mussolini and Hitler.
A generation that laughed and read under the covers in bed so our parents didn’t know we were still awake.
A generation that is passing into history.
BOTTOM LINE = I loved Growing up when I did.
