Smurfy, it should be nice and quiet on your lake now with no fish in it. You should be able to social distance quite easily.

Buying night crawlers on the side of the highway on opening weekend.

I remember coming in from playing outside in the winter and not being able to unzip my coat or untie my boots because my fingers wouldn't work. The good old days.

[monstermoose78]

I remember shaking people’s hands

[PRO-V]

Hunting wooley mammoth and pterodactyl. Making snow forts in the face of the glacier. Flint knapping spear points in the evening with the family.

I remember being super excited when Santa walked into the room.

I don't get why people enjoy snipe hunting.  Everytime I went, I just ended up lost in the woods holding a bag and never seeing no snipe...

[smurfy]

[Mike89]

the "church key", bottle and can openers...  if it hasn't been said already....

How about when you were 6 years old and your parents had no idea where you were all day but you better be home for supper.

my parents kinda needed to know about here we where, but...…..yea generally how it went. they got a little bit more nervous and needed to know up at the cabin. we tended to go "exploring" in the woods...….made them a bit nervous.

 

when my kids where young we'd tied rattles or something that made noise to keep track of them.

When I was old enough to go deer hunting my dad didn't want to go anymore. I insisted I was going so he would drop me off an hour before sun up 10 miles out of town. An hour after dark he would come pick me up on the side of the road somewhere on a 5 mile stretch. I learned that country like the back of my hand. My Mom threw a total fit over the whole thing but Dad told her I had grouse hunted that country since I was 5 years old. He figured I could take care of myself.

[smurfy]

pretty much how we learned the north country. now I know that better then where I grew up!!!!!!

Do you remember Elephant Beer? Was like 11% alcohol if memory serves.

[eyeguy 54]

Nope

I used to go to the local golf course in my late teens and put 50 cents in the pop machine and press the out of order button which would then dispence beer. The clubhouse manager caught on quickly when his secret stash of beer was always gone Saturday morning

Ish good thing.

[gunner55]

Yeah, I'm not a fan either. Just my way of giving back.

Time spent with my parents; going on shopping trips with my mom and riding along with my dad for whatever errands he was running.

 

Summers that seemed to last forever; waking up late and running around outside for hours before it was time to come inside.

 

Dinner every night at the table; my parents and all of my sisters and I eating the home-cooked meals my mom had prepared.

 

The infalibility of my parents; no matter what the problem was, they'd be able to make it better-a cold, a bruise, a scrape, a sick pet, or a neighborhood bully...

 

The health of my parents, and the idea that they would always be there to talk to-for advice and for companionship...
