Thank you! It was magical, wasn't it? Could you imagine allowing a 7-year-old to ride off into traffic alone on a bike nowadays?

Your writing takes me right back to my own childhood. A magical time, indeed.

Loved this, as well. Can't wait to show you how similar- AND how juxtaposed- our two childhoods were.

Such wholesome times! I'm sad for children growing up today. Even during my childhood, computers and internet were becoming a thing. I was sheltered by my parents, so I spent a lot of time alone at home. But in kindergarten and school is where I let loose my wild. At home too, with my toys and imagination.

Your comments are always very insightful. Thank you for that. I also feel sorry for children growing up today, especially because the long-term future of our nation and world doesn't appear to be particularly bright.
