@wisco, Were those pop guns the ones that had the little red strips of paper with a tiny black dot in the center???? If so a little neighbor boy had one of those and though I begged to try it, the little stinker never let me even come close! Fun years and fond memories! Giggling, because our "walking maestro" may need to nudge us back on track but still the digression has been fun!

And yes, to our super instigator of this walker/cizer group, @becsbuddy, I Did walk today but it was humid and I needed to set up a little gathering of four at the front table which included washing the entire shaded concrete yard of earlier bird visitors...any excuse in a pinch, yes?

In response to fun years and fond memories. Those pop guns were very dangerous, be glad the little sinker did not let you try it.

In my childhood neighborhood there were several bad kids, very unruly. With irresponsible parents. 2 of the bad boys would go up to some of the kids, and pop those awful guns in other kids ears. Enough times and those kids went hard of hearing. I’m still friends of one of the kids, and now are 99% deaf. As to the boys and their irresponsible folks, I’m sure the dumb parents are no longer living, and the 2 boys I’m sure are a failure in life, and their best report cards were all D,s.
Another gal who’s father always best her up, took out her frustration with other kids and had one of those guns.
My fun memories were riding my 2 wheeler bike, and playing board games, and playing golf and tennis.

The red paper strips were for cap guns!

@fiesty76 Are you setting up a nice table for your friends daughter? Is this the same daughter who was so unhelpful when your friend was dying? I’m just glad ‘whichever’ is coming and you’re doing a nice welcome!
