I’m grateful I was raised in a small town without much outside entertainment. It teaches you to love the simple and often free things in life. Entertainment was getting together with friends and family to eat, chat and play games. We loved going for long walks with dog, riding bikes, croquet, badminton, riding horses and a good neighborhood game of hide and seek. I’m thankful we didn’t have many TV stations in the olden days so we didn’t watch too much TV and learned to be creative with our free time. Long walks by the creek to catch tadpoles and watch them turn into frogs and then let them go. My brother and I loved surprising our parents by detailing their cars or cleaning and organizing the garage. Good times. Good memories.
