Me too Ken.  Great days.  When I remember those times, I don't even remember
the green fingers or the dirt.  My mom designated me lawn boy and I did it
without question, for who else would do it?  Girls didn't do those kinds of
things around our house and my big brother was gone away by the time we
moved into town.  We had no lawn in the country for the chickens always ate
it up.  heheh  I loved the feel of the grass upon my fingers and the
manicured look after I was through.  I loved the smell of the grass, of the
summer, of my youth, and the feeling of knowing my family and I were
ensconced in familial togetherness.  Saturday afternoons in small town Texas
with nary a care in the world.  Have much the same feelings, at least
pertaining to happiness, when I look back upon my paper route.  Every
afternoon I would pop that bag upon my back, loaded with papers from Clovis,
New Mexico, and off I would go.  TW-Sweet Bird of Youth.  Thanks for the
memories Ken.
