Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things I remember about Fourth of July and Summer Vacations



1. Waiting to help Grandpa turn the crank for the ice cream maker on their porch in Swainsboro, GA.
2. Rides on Grandpa’s riding mower with the triangle shaped steering wheel
3. Dad being Uncle Sam and reciting Red Skelton’s commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance
4. Fourth of July Festival at Riverhills Park
5. Homosassa
6. Tampa Bay Rowdies games
7. Learning the Cherokee Indian Rain Dance
8. Dad’s Big Mac shirt
9. Camping at Stone Mountain, going to the baseball game and that HORRIBLE storm.
10. Camp Endeavour
11. Playing in the woods around the river when it was dried up.
12. The pool at the Country Club
13. Camp Indian Head

Great list, D. I had forgotten all about that "2 beef patties, special sauce, etc" shirt of your Dad's that U.Jim gave him. I assume that's the one you mean. Oh boy...I know that storm at Stone Mt will be on Sus' too!
Thanks for the memories!
