I grew up in VA. Catching crayfish in the creek, making "forts" in the woods, catching box turtles, lizards. BB gun, treehouse, shooting blue jays (they got other birds eggs!), .22 shooting squirrels. Fishing in the summer: Would get up at dawn or just before, go to the lake and fish for blue gills with bread or worms until it started to get hot, go to breakfast and get on swim trunks. Swim until lunch then after. Fish in the evening. Parents didn't watch us... Also baseball. Lemonade, fried chicken, .... I could go on and on.
Heavy sigh...
Mike
