Those were fun days, esp when it involved water balloon fights.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-37081757460795560652009-07-31T08:36:47.214-05:002009-07-31T08:36:47.214-05:00My brothers and I and our little gang of friends a...My brothers and I and our little gang of friends and fostered kids used to have some legendary battles with a vile big eared ginger kid that we used to call Trumpet Ears and his gang.....happy days :-)<br />Very evocative post Mr E :-))BEASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428640137434521072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-42794834623811074552009-07-30T18:40:43.478-05:002009-07-30T18:40:43.478-05:00Tara, Yes, it does get hot in Arizona. I can tota...<b>Tara</b>, Yes, it does get hot in Arizona. I can totally relate to what you're saying though. I tell my friends in Arizona that I like the dry heat. They didn't understand the hell that is humidity til they got to Texas! <br /><br />In dry heat, the sweat evaporates quickly, cooling you down. In humidity, the sweat stays and pours out your body, and you're walking around soaked and wet and just miserable.<br /><br />And as much as I complain about the heat now, I'm just glad I don't have to deal with blizzards and icy roads and shoveling out driveways.<br /><br /><b>Scarlet B</b> x2, I envy your refreshing rains! I haven't had to use hot water in months! I shower with just the cold water to cool down.<br /><br />Everyone luvs a good water fight! It should be mandatory! I think people would be a lot more relaxed if they had fun like that and did silly things to blow off steam. I read about actual festivals in some parts of the world that are all about <a href="http://www.thailand-travelonline.com/thailand-activities/culture-of-thailand/thailand-songkran-festival-2009-worlds-biggest-water-fight-part-2/835/" rel="nofollow">water fights</a>!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-74942345449361198902009-07-30T18:23:52.551-05:002009-07-30T18:23:52.551-05:00Savannah, I think every kid thinks summer is fun, ...<b>Savannah</b>, I think every kid thinks summer is fun, just because there's no school. I think it was just the idea of having some sort of freedom, doing something different that made summer seem so awesome! <br /><br /><b>XL</b>, I used to dream about moving to far away places when I was a kid. You must've seen some awesome places. I think being well traveled as a child makes one very independent and adventurous.<br /><br />It's funny when groups of boys get together, a pecking order is established in order to get things done. Someone has to lead. It's only when you find true friends that you don't need the hierarchy to decide what to do--you just go with the flow.<br /><br /><b>Donn</b>, Thanks! I enjoyed writing this piece, and I think I remember it so well because they're like milestones growing up: the first fight; the first friend; that first time someone older, cooler took an interest in you and made you feel great. <br /><br />It's an awesome feeling that first time you stand up for yourself, find a true friend, and you are accepted whole heartedly and willingly in a group. These are the experiences that changes one's life, alters your perceptions, and makes you more aware of what's going on.<br /><br />Time flies. I can't believe have the year is almost over! Still a little more time to enjoy the sunshine, and there's the Perseids meteor shower going on that peaks Aug 12! It's fantastic.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-89159682010913267682009-07-30T15:40:24.473-05:002009-07-30T15:40:24.473-05:00Ah yes, summer begins in Eynsford with water fight...Ah yes, summer begins in Eynsford with water fights in the ford.

You have a magical way of drawing the reader into your narrative..it feels totally real...completely true.<br /><br />Now I've been out here reading blogs for 3 years and I can count on one hand the number of people who can write with such clarity and purpose. Seriously, this is very good.<br /><br />Plus I believe you. I know that a lot of these testimonials are rendered as the author thought that they should have occurred.<br />Fantastic..a perfect Summer stroll down memory lane. <br /><br />It's so cool to be cognizant. Isn't it bloody marvelous to be able to re-examine the sub-total of one's existance? What is it all about? Does any of this mean something?<br /><br />and btw, How can July be over?Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-72965492616094357402009-07-30T13:37:01.761-05:002009-07-30T13:37:01.761-05:00Very nice story.
