Tommy liked Diana the best while my own puppy love favorite was Patty.
Often I'd walk her home from school taking the longest way on those now distant
yet still memorable summer afternoons of my youth.
Note: Outstanding idea for an RHP General Forum thread. Thanks.

Digging a "tunnel" at the end of the garden ( a hole in the ground with some plywood laid over it which was then covered in soil).
It was quite deep dug into a clay bank (2 metres) with no supports.
It was an on-going project over many years.
Cold damp mornings acting like we had a cigarette in our hand and pretending the frost on our breath was smoke.
Arguing in the third grade about what kind of cigarette we were going to smoke when we grew up after watching TV commercials from the age of 2.
Getting your weight and fortune on a penny scale.
Going to the five and dime and getting a 10 cent sack of chocolate stars.

During the first three grades of elementary school walking with my mother at three o'clock on Thursday afternoons
to our local library's downstairs children's section to listen to the assistant librarian read all kinds of wonderful stories.
