I loved halfies! We would cut a pimple ball in half and use a broom handle to hit them at 15th and Haines street in West Oak Lane in Philadelphia. I also loved playing hide the belt, wall ball, step ball, Dodge ball any kind of ball.

We spent our nights and weekends out playing and in the sunshine. As me dear departed saint of a mother used to say, "It's a beautiful sunny day outside!!! Why don't you go outside and play." With 8 children I can understand why she said that to us.

Her only moment of peace was when she would read the Philadelphia Bulletin in the evening for half an hour and we were not allowed to disturb her when she did.

I did temp work for LIHEAP, and learned things that made me sick to my stomach as well. I want to speak on it, but can't, but very familiar with the "magic" that goes on.

As for my garden, it's a work in progress and is the first time I haven't killed everything. I'm just fighting what I thought was nature, but I digress.

I'm a 90 year old when it comes to anything tech related, and honestly think the world will be much more peaceful without it. I'm slightly social. 😄

You are indeed an interesting fellow. God Bless Sir. 🇺🇸💛🇺🇸
