What a shock!
Char and I were sitting in the back yard today, beautiful weather after yesterday's rain, when we heard a strange noise coming up the street. I knew what it sounded like but never imagined that I would actually see five youngsters on bicycles, all with baseball, or some kind of cards, clothepinned in their spokes. I laughed and walked to the fence as they rode past a couple of times listening to that old familiar sound that I haven't heard for...what, 40 years or more? Cards in spokes; I thought it had died out with all the rest of those quaint things kids used to do that I did, and remember so well. Made me smile, that's for sure.
