Do you remember the neighborhood. What a great time to be a kid. All the kids from about 8-13 would gather every night during the summer just after "SUPPER" and we would play games. Some games you would need daylight, so you would play them first and then it would get to be evening and the more ghostly games would begin. Maybe you can remember a few more things we played or did just to be having fun. Or can add a note to some of them you remember extra well. This was before Draggin' Broadway, Before Senior High, Before Dating, Before Cars, Before the Drive In. Just saying the words may bring back a lot of memories.

Using Jackknives we would throw it with the blade in our fingers and then The guy would have to spread that leg out to where you threw it. Most of the time it was pretty close 'cause it had to stick in the ground to make you spread. Then if you could stick it right between his legs you could go back to where you started with your legs close together..

We would holler Annie-I-Over. then we would throw the ball over the house and see if they could catch it on the other side. Of course it had to hit the roof so they had time to see it coming. Then they would run around the house and try to hit us with the ball. (of course it was rubber)

The most famous card game ever invented. I remember sitting over at my neighbors basement and playing WAR with great big stacks of cards. Never winning or losing but getting down pretty far in your deck.
